Sustainability, climate protection and our environment are crucial for our future. The global importance of these issues has reached everyone in recent years, be it on a political, private or economic level.

MOCOM is aware of its responsibility as a global company, as an employer, as a manufacturer and as a local neighbor. As a member of a family-owned group of companies with a history stretching back more than 100 years, we use our scope for action to contribute to protecting the environment and resources for future generations.

In doing so, we focus on both small steps, for example energy saving - "Turn off when not needed!" - as well as larger measures, for example plastic recycling - "Let's do our part to keep plastics in the cycle"

The Paris Climate Agreement was adopted on December 12, 2015 at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP 21) and provides for limiting man-made global warming to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. The signatory countries are striving to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. This is intended to significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change.

We support the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and base our actions on them.

Back in 2014, we successfully realized the ISO 50001 - Energy Management certification. Since 2022, our Hamburg and Zülpich sites source electricity from renewable sources, reducing the associated greenhouse-gas emissions and improving the carbon footprint of our production sites.

Positive Plastics is an international initiative with a broad network of participating companies which aims to make plastics with specific sustainability properties – e.g. based on renewable raw materials or with recycled content – accessible to a broader public. The project includes a sample kit that presents the advantages of plastic types with a reduced ecological footprint in an easy-to-understand way and includes material samples. It addresses in particular to engineers, designers and product managers and includes a total of 16 PCR, PIR, bio-based, bio-composite and mass-balanced plastics from various manufacturers. With Altech ECO® PA66 in high-grade Near-To-Prime recycling quality and Cellidor® CP 410-10, two materials from MOCOM's portfolio are represented there.

Yes, we successfully introduced the ISO 50001 - Energy Management certification back in 2014. Since then, we have continued to pursue ambitious goals in energy saving.

Our entrepreneurial activities are based on the economical and efficient use of energy: We want to systematically reduce energy consumption and the associated negative environmental impact and thus live up to our individual responsibility for climate protection. These concerns are reflected in the guidelines of our cross-company energy policy. Saving energy also depends on the behavior of all employees. We therefore regularly raise our employees' awareness of possible energy savings in their areas.

We have switched our production sites in Hamburg and Zülpich to electricity from 100 percent renewable sources since the beginning of 2022. This will further improve the carbon footprint of our products and our production sites and make another important contribution to climate protection.
