Sustainability
Our Commitment to the Environment
CoorsTek is committed to environmental stewardship and advancing sustainable practices throughout our operations. Acknowledging the intensive energy and resource demands of our business, we strive to conserve and minimize our impact on the environment and the communities in which we live, work, and serve. Our sustainability efforts are focused on five key areas:
- Facilities and Innovation
- Manufacturing Efficiency
- Materials
- Supply Chain
- Waste & Recycling
Within these categories, measures include conserving resources, improving material utilization, reducing water and energy use, minimizing scrap, improving waste management, and reducing carbon emissions. We work to meet or exceed environmental regulations and foster partnerships that integrate sustainability across our value chain.
strategic direction & climate vision
CoorsTek has continued to make meaningful progress on our sustainability journey, advancing deliberately and thoughtfully along this path. In our past sustainability reports, we introduced our 2030 Climate Vision—Minimize Waste, Maximize Impact. Grounded in a data driven approach, this vision establishes clear climate goals and signals to our customers, business partners, employees, and communities that environmental sustainability remains a core priority for the company.
Our 2030 Climate Vision centers on four key areas: waste diversion, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reduction, water use reduction, and increased use of renewable energy. As our sustainability program continues to mature, we are strengthening the data and processes that support these priorities while also expanding our climate work to include Scope 3 emissions. Developing a Scope 3 emissions plan will help CoorsTek better understand impacts across our value chain and prepare for our engagement with Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
