Sustainability at Habasit

Industrial growth without draining the planet

As a family-owned company with a heritage deeply rooted in innovation that improves the world around us, we consider sustainability as the key challenge of our age. We believe industrial growth that benefits people is possible without draining the planet's precious resources.

We have placed sustainability firmly at the core of our mission to guide us toward contributing to a more sustainable business. From the design to manufacturing and the end of life, we take action to reduce the environmental impact of our products and develop belting solutions that help our customers reduce their use of energy and water and avoid unnecessary waste.

Sustainable sourcing

We collaborate with our suppliers to reduce the impacts of our upstream activities and ensure compliance. We source more sustainable raw materials from suppliers who meet social, ethical, and environmental standards.

Sustainable company

We take action to reduce the environmental impact of our operations through resource conservation and development of more sustainable manufacturing processes.

Sustainable products and solutions

We manufacture our products responsibly, using more sustainable, bio-based, and circular raw materials. We design belts that can contribute to the conservation of resources and reduction of waste in our customers’ processes.

Environmental Report

Last year, we published our first environmental report detailing our assessment for 2020, 2021, and 2022. We now released our latest report, highlighting our environmental efforts and impacts for 2023 across 54 Habasit locations.

Our firm belief is that through a better understanding of our environmental footprint, we are more equipped to make responsible and well-informed decisions to enhance our efficiency, minimize our impact, and evaluate our initiatives. We focused our data analysis on energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, volatile organic compound emissions (VOV), water use, and waste generation.

The reports are our commitment to transparency regarding our performance.
