Sobre la Empresa | Rehau S.A.

Ecological Responsibility

The future firmly in sight

As a manufacturing company, our commitment to the responsible use of resources and the protection of the environment is ingrained in our core values. And with good reason, too: All ecological improvements come with economic benefit. We save costs and thus increase our competitive edge. Not only in production but also in management and sales are we carrying out programs and individual measures that promote energy efficiency and resource conservation – often above and beyond statutory requirements. Our responsibility does not stop at national borders either: We are formalizing and establishing our principles to protect the environment in all business processes worldwide. Every employee is included so that we can achieve our ecological goals together. We also inform our customers about the environmental aspects of our products. And we take environmental criteria into account when we select suppliers. We take environmental burdens of every kind seriously and monitor them closely at all our facilities worldwide. Starting with the planning phase of new activities, new products and processes, we examine all potential impacts on the climate and environment.

Material and energy efficiency are key competitive factors in the entire value chain. As a result, we continuously analyze and optimize our processes; we learn from each other and carry out proven practices in other areas. This includes, for example, the issue of waste and recycling.

Our goal is to avoid the disposal of waste material and residues as much as possible. To this end, REHAU uses mechanical recycling circuits in production: we specifically want to recycle waste and residues in the production process or in the value chain. To establish closed material cycles and develop recycling concepts, Procurement works hand in hand with the individual plants, suppliers and service providers.

Materials and energy use

In our REHAU SPEM program, for example, we define measures that improve productivity as well as energy and material efficiency in all plants. We monitor the effectiveness of our activities and look for ways to proliferate them. In addition, we also promote energy-saving measures with an advertised, company-wide special annual budget of up to 2.5 million Euro – even if this does not meet the usual criteria for investment decisions.

In terms of resource efficiency, we still have a lot planned, but we can already look back on achievements. We were able to cut our 2009 gas consumption levels by 17.6 percent. Plus, in 2012, we were able to reduce our power consumption again (see figure below). Through energetic measures, the automotive plants in particular were able to massively improve their energy efficiency. Relatively new plants, like the ones in Cullman, North America or Taicang, China, were able to increase their production efficiency and thus reduce their energy consumption considerably.

Recycling

In collaboration with our manufacturing plants, our suppliers and service providers, REHAU’s Procurement Department develops and implements recycling programs. This way REHAU not only reduces waste but saves costs, too. Evaluating the possible uses of recyclates is part and parcel of every product development and firmly established in the product development process. REHAU observes the legal regulations (e.g. REACH) as well as standards and customer specifications. Depending on the product range, we reach different utilization rates for recyclates in the different business fields. In the field of Civil Engineering & Infrastructure, the current utilization rate is about 28 percent.

Sustainability can be bought

The purchasing division plays a significant role in the company – not just as the interface for suppliers, but also as a bearer of environmental and social responsibility. Along the entire value chain, ecological, economic and social aspects must be in line with REHAU’s sustainability goals. In 2012, we developed a Code of Conduct for our suppliers based on internationally accepted standards. This ensures that basic requirements, such as environmental and labor laws, are communicated and adhered to in the supply chain. We are working on integrating sustainability even further into the supply chain management process to identify risks more quickly and be able to implement improvements consistently.
