Minimising impact

HellermannTyton sustainability strategy - Planet in focus

We are working to minimise the environmental impact of our operations and to become a carbon-neutral business.

Becoming a carbon-neutral business

Injection moulding, extrusion and toolmaking are energy intensive. Utilising renwable energy is a key part of our strategy to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated by our operations. We also pledge to maximise engineering and production equipment efficiency and minimise unnecessary energy and material consumption throughout the company.
