SUSTAINABILITY
Leading the Way to a Sustainable Future.
Our Commitment to Carbon Neutral Production and Beyond
For us at pewag and the entire pewag group, sustainability is not just an ambition or a trend, it’s a responsibility. Since our beginnings in the 15th century, we have evolved into a global leader committed to achieving carbon-neutral production by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement and EU Climate Law. Our initiatives include renewable energy, resource conservation, social responsibility and ethical business practices. From generating clean energy and recycling the vast majority of our waste (83% by 2023) to promoting health, safety and good working conditions throughout our value chain, we are pushing sustainable development.
