Sustainability is turning our purpose into action
At Sibelco, sustainability is at the core of who we are, and how we contribute to a more sustainable world. From the materials Sibelco extracts and produces to the impact we make on the environment and society. Sibelco takes a long-term, purpose-driven approach.
Building the foundations of modern life
Sibelco minerals and materials play an essential role in our daily life. They also support essential global transitions – enabling the supply of clean energy, safe drinking water, and more sustainable life in general.
Our commitment
Guided by a strong Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) framework, Sibelco integrates sustainability into every level of our operations. This framework helps to ensure we not only meet expectations – but exceed them in key areas such as health and safety, energy use, biodiversity, and community engagement. Just a few examples:
- Promoting safety, health and wellbeing: Commitment to zero injuries is unwavering. Every process is built around health and safety – for our people, our partners, and the communities around us.
- Reducing our and our customers carbon footprint: Many of our sites are increasingly powered by renewable energy, helping to reduce GHG emissions and accelerating the shift to low-carbon operations or bringing in our recycled glass back into the world of glass production globally.
- Protecting and restoring nature: From land rehabilitation to biodiversity projects, Sibelco is taking a regenerative approach to the environments in which we operate.
- Creating inclusive communities: Sibelco is building a culture where everyone feels they belong – within our teams and in the communities we’re part of.
Advancing life through materials
Our purpose –
Material solutions advancing life – reflects a belief that the right materials, used the right way, can help solve global challenges. We’re proud to support customers across industries with products and practices that are not only high-quality, but also sustainable.
At Sibelco, sustainability isn’t just part of what we do — it is what we do.
Protecting biodiversity, creating inclusive workplaces and work with our communities — are just a few actions to build a more sustainable future.
"At Sibelco, sustainability is our responsibility and our opportunity. Every day, we work to demonstrate how purpose-driven actions can create value for our planet, our people, and our communities. Together, we are advancing life through material solutions that truly make a difference."
