Sustainability Report 2023
We are very pleased to announce the launch of the first Plansee Group Sustainability Report!
Plansee and CERATIZIT created the Group-wide report in collaboration. It covers the fiscal year 2023/24.
We have an ambitious sustainability mission that will affect and change the entire supply chain. But we can only achieve true sustainability together. That's why our mission goes beyond our own scope: We want to enable our customers to produce more sustainably with our products and services.
With our ambitious mission, we want to make an important contribution to tackling the climate crisis.
By 2025, we aim to be the sustainability leader for the carbide and cutting tool industry. Therefore, we are implementing sustainability measures along the entire value chain.
How do we plan to achieve our vision and carry out our mission?
To follow our ambitious sustainability mission throughout the company, we involve the entire value chain. Our sustainability strategy not only relates to internal processes and resources. It also sets new standards for collaboration with our partners - in terms of environmental, social and governance criteria, or ESG for short.
We know that there are many areas to consider. In the first step, we are increasingly focusing on the aspects with the greatest leverage: decarbonisation and circular economy.
CERATIZIT has submitted near-term and long-term targets to SBTi for validation and has therefore a net-zero target for 2040.
CERATIZIT has set a voluntary target to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 upstream GHG emissions by 35% by FY2025 from a FY2020 base year.
CERATIZIT a volontairement compensé les émissions de GES restantes des champs d'application 1 et 2 par des projets certifiés respectant les normes les plus strictes depuis mars 2025.
To reduce the mining of virgin raw materials, our mission is to keep the share of raw materials remaining in the carbide production chain to around 90% (based on scrap recycling rates of sintered products).

We received a 2024 CDP thematic score of B for our environmental performance. The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a global non-profit organization that runs the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system. CDP scores help us navigate compliance, assess future investments, and highlight economic risks from environmental issues. We will use this feedback to improve our environmental strategies.
In 2024, CERATIZIT earned a Gold Rating from EcoVadis. This ranks the company as one of the top 2% in its industry for outstanding sustainability achievements. EcoVadis is the world’s leading provider of corporate sustainability ratings in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). As so, receiving Gold means that CERATIZIT is ranked within the top 5% of all assessed companies.
Since September 2023, we support the UN Global Compact. CERATIZIT’s management signed the letter of commitment and is working towards supporting the ten principles.
