Our Approach

Home » Sustainability » Our Approach

DEM – Deutsche E Metalle AG is committed to providing trustworthy and clean raw materials. Our approach focuses on proactively addressing social, environmental, and human rights challenges within the scope of our activities. We work on minimizing the impact or on optimizing it for the benefit of society and environment.

Corporate sustainability begins with our value system and a principles-based approach to business. This means that we are guided in our actions by our responsibilities in the fields of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.

As a socially responsible company, we know that good practices in one area do not compensate for damage in another. By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact , we not only fulfill our fundamental responsibility, but also create the conditions for long-term success and partnership.

Therefore, the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact guide our daily actions.
