Sustainability

No question about it: demand for raw materials is growing worldwide. China and India are driving an unprecedented dynamic. This certainly has an impact on prices. The other side of the coin is the climate problem, which becomes more significant with every barrel of oil consumed.

In the middle are companies like GF Automotive, which calculate economically on one hand, and need to meet environmental policy requirements on the other. The art lies in finding the right balance between the demands of people, the environment, and the economy. Under these conditions, sustainability is simply a prerequisite for middle- and longterm success.

That is the reason why GF Automotive is diligent about its non-renewable energy sources, such as oil, gas, and foundry coke. The same diligence is applied to selecting raw materials that the company processes — iron, aluminum, and magnesium. Using modern techniques, we are investing in the recycling of energy and raw materials. Around the world, teams of
specialists are engaged in buying the required raw materials. Long-term supply contracts with strategic partners from the raw materials and energy industries secure sustainably competitive structures.

Strictly documented and thoroughly backed up, the sustainability measures are published regularly in the sustainability report of the Georg Fischer Group. It is an expression of reliability regarding the conscientious use of resources and responsible treatment of our environment.
