Sustainability - for ourselves, our environment and our company
As a global company, RENOLIT has made a contribution to sustainability - on an ecological, social and economic level. With regard to our core business, the production of high-quality polymer solutions and related products, we believe that we have a responsibility towards people to preserve resources, reduce emissions that harm the climate and prevent unregulated release of plastics into the environment. We aim to live up to this responsibility by committing to more circular business, fostering sustainable innovation, participating in numerous industry initiatives and working for equity, decent work, health and well-being.
We deliver sustainable and innovative polymer solutions.
Our Sustainability Strategy
Our mission statement defines our path into the future. It is the result of our strategic work, which is based on the established core values of our corporate brand. RENOLIT is reliable, cooperative, open-minded, of high quality and innovative. Sustainability is a consistent development of these values. Together with our employees and business partners, we work to achieve our strategic goals in the three dimensions of sustainability "People - Planet - Profit".
As a member of the Circular Plastics Alliance we voluntarily committed ourselves in 2020 to defining and successively implementing measures that are intended to contribute to greater sustainability till 2025 by, among other things, increasing the amount of recycled plastic, thus actively contributing to the achievement of the CPA's goals.

These UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are important for us
The UN 2030 Agenda, with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is considered a global plan for a better and decent future that should be implemented by 2030. It is about addressing the challenges of our time: Ending poverty, injustice and inequality, reducing environmental destruction and the climate crisis, and securing peace. Within the framework of the ONE RENOLIT 2025 strategy, we have also taken measures to help achieve some of these goals and live up to our responsibility.
SDG 6 - Clean water and sanitation
We are intensively committed to the sustainable use of water resources and contribute to the responsible use of water through a wide range of measures. As part of the initiative Operation Clean Sweep, we are helping to prevent plastic particles from entering the environment at our production sites in order to prevent soil and water pollution.
SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth
RENOLIT employs about 5,000 people at over 30 locations, providing jobs worldwide. At all locations, we prefer to work with local suppliers and thus promote the local economy. In order to create humane working conditions for all employees, we adhere to our worldwide Code of Conduct and Supplier Code.
SDG 9 – Industry, innovation and infrastructure
By optimising our production processes to use energy and resources more efficiently, our sites around the world benefit. The focus here is on reducing emissions. With geomembranes for hydraulic engineering and civil engineering, we contribute to the expansion of infrastructure worldwide.
SDG 10 – Less inequalities
With our Code of Conduct and Supplier Code, we help to exclude discrimination and inequalities for our employees and partners and speak out against any kind of discrimination. In addition, our RENOLIT plants support local sustainable development projects and are involved in social institutions.
