Future-oriented design

After focusing on the three ESG dimensions of environment, society and governance last year, the company is now going one step further: structures and processes have been created and well-founded data collected in order to report in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) from the next financial year. “It is important to prepare for the new sustainability regulations at an early stage,” explains Andreas Jenne, Head of Sustainability at REHAU Industries. “This not only entails structural changes, but also allows us to take an even closer look at our activities and potential.”

Driving the circular economy forward

In this context, the transformation from a linear to a circular economy is a particularly important topic for REHAU as a production company. This report shows that the product take-back projects initiated in the divisions have been continued and further lighthouse projects in the product area have been introduced to the market. In this way, REHAU Industries was able to significantly exceed the targets set for 2025 for the use of recyclate across all products. In the reporting year, the previous target of 15% recycled content in the EMEA region was therefore extended to 20% worldwide by 2025.
