Sandler’s Blue Planet: Our Sustainability Strategy and Targets
At Sandler, sustainability serves as an important guiding principle for responsible action. It shapes our ongoing development and strengthens our awareness of our environmental and social responsibility.
Sandler’s Blue Planet is one piece of the puzzle of our own contribution to sustainability.Anita Raithel, Sustainability Manager
Sandler’s Blue Planet – translating Responsibility into Targets
Targets
1. Target
Our goal is to reduce our corporate carbon footprint (Scopes 1 and 2) significantly by 2035. Any remaining emissions will be transparently reported and addressed through additional climate protection measures. At the same time, we will reduce the carbon footprint of our products (Scope 1–3) by at least 40% compared to our base year of 2021.
2. Target
By 2035, 75% of the sold volume should consist of single-variety finished products; products made from 100% renewable raw materials; or products made from 100% raw materials sourced from the circular economy or recycling.
3. Target
We expect employees to be familiar with the Sandler Spirit, internalize it, and view it positively.
4. Target
We create conditions that foster respectful, fair, and equitable collaboration, and we promote diversity within our company.
5. Target
Long-term economic stability and positive corporate development.
From Strategy to Action
Our strategy, with its three strategic fields, aligns with ESG principles, following the guiding principle of long-term corporate development.
The four fields of action specify the measures through which Sandler implements its corporate strategy and associated goals. In particular, the “Mindset” field of action forms the foundation of the transformation. It supports integrating sustainability-related topics within the company, promotes employee engagement, contributes to expanding renewable energy, and strengthens Sandler’s focus on products developed with resource conservation in mind.
The material topics in our sustainability strategy define our priorities and provide a framework for the strategy's goals and fields of action.
Sustainability management encompasses all ESG topics. We consolidate information from our fields of action, our strategy, and our company; collect data; and use these information to develop new strategic directions. In doing so, we review existing approaches and continuously optimize processes. This generates new ideas, projects, and measures that contribute to Sandler’s development.
Our Carbon Footprint
Why do we calculate our corporate carbon footprint?
Our objective is to gradually reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. To this end, we will primarily focus on avoiding or reducing emissions from our business activities. For remaining emissions that cannot currently be avoided, we are exploring appropriate measures for offsetting them. In doing so, we are calculating our company’s corporate carbon footprint in order to develop measures to reduce emissions based on this data.
