We are committed to a sustainable future for the ROTO Ecosystem, which requires a healthy planet and an inclusive society that offers work and equal opportunities for everyone. For us, sustainability involves more than just the environment. We aim for broad value creation in support of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. We are convinced that we must act for our future licence to operate, and we have anchored this in our purpose: The Sustainable Colourful Metal Family Group. On this journey, we will encounter new business opportunities.
Integrated UN Sustainable Development Goals
To give substance to our sustainability goals, the 17 SDGs have been integrated into our eight core themes and translated into KPIs, which is shown in this report on the page ‘Eight core themes integrated in 17 SDGs’. This helps us identify where and how we can make the most impact and how we can contribute to solving global problems in the areas of poverty, health, inequality, climate change, peace and justice. During 2022 and 2023, ROTO’s Business Units are working towards external UN SDG certification. The planned initiatives are audited for the first time. Upon successful completion, the company will receive the official UN SDG certification. Rezinal has already gone through this three-year process and received the UN certificate for ‘SDG Pioneer’ in 2021. It is currently aiming for the ‘SDG Champion’ status in 2023.
Sustainability and circularity are the future. That is why the Steel Construction Agreement was created in 2022 in the steel construction industry to share knowledge and insights with like-minded organisations. Rotocoat is one of the parties that signed this agreement. Sustainable, reliable and fast together is the key to sustainability.
