The CABB Group is committed to mitigating climate change, supporting resource efficiency, and upholding high social standards for its employees and the people in communities close to its production sites.

The double materiality analysis helped identify critical ESG areas in which the CABB Group has a significant impact, as well as the ones from which the most relevant risks and opportunities arise. The CABB Group considers the following sustainability areas as the most significant:

• Climate change and decarbonization (ESRS E1)
• Water consumption and resource scarcity (ESRS E3)
• Social values and corporate culture (ESRS S1; G1)

The CABB Group works towards limiting global warming and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions not only in its production processes but also in the value chain. With its commitment to climate goals aligned with SBTi – reducing its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 45.2% and indirect Scope 3 emissions by 25% until 2030 – the CABB Group aims to achieve a positive impact in terms of climate change mitigation. Scope 3 emissions account in fact for the largest share of the CABB Group’s emissions. They include, for example, the production of raw materials by suppliers and their delivery. Moreover, from climate change also derive transition risks, such as the CO2 pricing and new regulatory changes, as well as business opportunities, such as implementing low-carbon products and increasing raw material efficiency.

Another material area is the sustainable water management, especially given the current risk of water scarcity and increased heating due to climate change. Therefore, the CABB Group is focused on reducing its water consumption, improving its resource use with focus on circularity across operations and monitoring the related risks.

The CABB Group prioritizes a developing and inclusive working environment reinforced by stakeholder engagement that fosters safety and drives innovation. To strengthen partnerships, the CABB Group works closely with customers and suppliers to ensure its compliance with the respective norms and applicable regulations and emphasizes local involvement in the communities around the production sites. The scope of this brochure has changed, as the CABB Group has entered in 2025 into a definitive agreement to sell its site in Galena, USA, to a different company. As required by SBTi, we therefore exclude the Galena site from this brochure and have accordingly adjusted all calculations retrospectively to be able to transparently demonstrate the actual ESG developments with same scope and base year.

The following table shows the CABB Group’s strategic sustainability targets, which are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and our good progress in delivering our targets for 2025 and 2030.
