Social Commitment

For over 110 years, we’ve been creating activated carbon solutions that truly solve environmental challenges. Water, air, industrial processes – we make sure what leaves is cleaner than what comes in.

Our activated carbon protects people and processes.

We take responsibility — for people, our community, and our resources.

Social responsibility is part of our everyday actions: Our silo truck regularly takes part in truck meet‑ups that raise donations for social initiatives.

And when one of our filters reaches the end of its service life, it doesn’t simply end up as scrap.

Instead, we give it a second life: Recently, we handed over a decommissioned filter to a local fire department, where it is now used for realistic disaster‑response training. Other fire brigades are already on the waiting list for the next filter that retires from active duty. What once was industrial equipment becomes a valuable training tool.

Everyone benefits: The silo allows emergency crews to safely practice breathing‑apparatus drills, rescues from confined spaces, and handling technical installations. At the same time, it conserves resources and reduces waste.

A great example of how sustainability and community can work hand in hand.
