The energy policy of H.C. Starck GmbH

H.C. Starck GmbH advocates an energy policy that is in full compliance with statutory provisions and the voluntary agreements of German industrial associations as well as with the requirements of ecology and economics.  

In line with our commitment to a careful handling of non-renewable raw materials and to a sustainable climate protection, an efficient use of energy is imperative and will also contribute to a long-term improvement of our competitive advantage.    

We will achieve efficient utilization of energy through the continuous improvement of our processes by making use of state-of-the-art technologies. 

For the operational implementation of its energy policy, H.C. Starck appointed an Energy Manager, who will coordinate the worldwide activities to minimize the use of energy by actively involving all employees. He will receive all the necessary financial and human resources to coordinate the company’s energy management.

Among the main duties of energy management are the systematic recording and assessing of energy fluxes and then ascertaining and implementing the respective energy-saving measures. All steps to increase energy efficiency will be continuously monitored.

Energy management  will be supported by the introduction of a system that will be integrated into the structure of the already existing management system.
