They are aimed at governments worldwide, as well as civil society, business and science.To create a more sustainable future, the United Nations (UN) is calling on companies to commit to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
SCHOTT is also living up to this responsibility. Based on our sustainability strategy, the focus is on four SDGs where we can contribute the most. See how we, as a global innovative Group, are finding new ways to shape a sustainable future.
Our Responsibility
Environmental Responsibility
Environmental protection has been one of SCHOTT's key corporate goals for decades. Time and again, we have set new sustainability standards in the glass industry, and we want to do the same when it comes to protecting the climate. As a globally operating group, we have a clear goal: We want to be the first specialty glass manufacturer to become climate neutral in its production by 2030.
