Organizing Sustainability
The Plansee Group is committed to achieving its sustainability targets, focusing on decarbonization and other environmental, social and governance topics.
Our sustainability program focuses on executing its greenhouse gas reduction plan, which aims to decarbonize its own activities (scope 1 and 2) and supply chain (scope 3). In addition, further targets have been set in the areas of environment, people and governance.

Double Materiality Analysis (DMA)
Our Double Materiality Analysis (DMA), launched in 2025 and based on the materiality analysis in 2021, helps align key sustainability efforts with both financial and impact considerations. It identified four material topics that reflect our ongoing focus areas and guide actions that create long-term stakeholder value.
- Climate Change
- Circular Economy
- Workers in the Value Chain
- Own Workforce
Following the initial materiality analysis conducted in 2021, we had already defined four key areas for action: reducing carbon emissions, enhancing circularity, managing suppliers and further developing the company as an attractive employer. These align with the four material topics identified in the current DMA.
