sustainability

we call it sustainable entrepreneurship

At Aalberts Surface Technologies—Polymer Division, we are deeply committed to advancing sustainable practices within our division. We recognize the critical role sustainability plays in the future of manufacturing and continuously work to minimize our environmental impact while delivering exceptional, high-performance solutions to our customers.

Our approach to sustainability is built on three core pillars: innovation, efficiency, and responsibility.

  • Innovation: We aim to create and utilize advanced polymer technologies that not only fulfill our clients’ performance needs but also encourage long-term sustainability. By adopting state-of-the-art materials and processes, we minimize waste, reduce energy consumption, and enhance product lifecycles, ensuring a minimal ecological footprint.
  • Efficiency: Our dedication to continuous improvement motivates us to operate efficiently in all aspects of our work. From minimizing waste in our production processes to optimizing energy use and managing water resources, we are focused on boosting operational performance while protecting the environment.
  • Responsibility: We are dedicated to being responsible partners to our customers, suppliers, and the communities where we operate. Our Fairburn facility ensures that every product we manufacture is designed to meet rigorous environmental standards, and we collaborate with our stakeholders to implement sustainable practices across our entire value chain.

At Aalberts Surface Technologies, sustainability is more than an initiative—it is a core aspect of our corporate identity. Together with our global network of teams and partners, we are dedicated to creating solutions that advance our business objectives and the well-being of our planet.

Measurement is key to management, so we establish robust KPIs, track our performance, and report the data transparently. This disciplined approach has earned us recognition from ethical investors, including inclusion in equity indices like FTSE4Good for our strong ESG (environmental, social, governance) practices.

We’re driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence—and the results speak for themselves.
