Sustainable development We make every decision regarding our production in a responsible and conscious manner, while aligning with the concept of sustainable development. We strive to improve our production processes and raw material utilization methods to enhance their efficiency and eliminate CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Furthermore, in order to protect the environment and preserve biodiversity, we focus on climate change mitigation solutions.

Carbon footprint

At Metall-Expres Sp. z o.o., we are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the use of renewable energy in our everyday operations. Since 2021, we have been consistently tracking our carbon footprint in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) and ISO 14064-1 standards. In 2023, we broadened our efforts to also assess the carbon footprint of our products, following international standards ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.

As a company that takes environmental responsibility seriously, we are dedicated to minimizing our climate impact and promoting sustainable development. Our determination to lower CO₂ emissions is evident in both the measurable progress we’ve made and the ambitious targets we continue to set for the future.

Between 2021 and 2024, we successfully cut our CO₂e emissions per unit sales by a remarkable 95.5%, demonstrating significant progress in our efforts to operate more sustainably.

Reducing our carbon footprint is how we fight against climate change.

Examples of implemented actions and ongoing initiatives in our Company aimed at environmental protection:

• we use electric forklifts in our warehouse and production halls, which eliminates the generation of harmful fumes detrimental to health  and the environment,
• we use recycling, sort waste, and ensure that each of our employees is trained in this area,
• we are gradually eliminating the use of disposable packaging,
• we have replaced the previously used traditional lighting with energy-efficient LED lighting in our production and warehouse halls, as well as in office spaces,
• we have a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly testing laboratory where we regularly test samples of the raw materials used in our production process,
• we are replacing traditional sources of energy such as coal and natural gas with renewable energy sources, such as solar energy,
• we are improving our vehicle fleet by replacing gasoline-powered cars with electric ones.

In pursuit of sustainable development, the majority of our Business Partners  are actively engaged in reducing their carbon footprint.
