Pioneering Sustainable Hydrocarbons
In recognition of our responsible and sustainable behaviour, we have been awarded by the CSR agency EcoVadis.
We offer our customers sustainable and certified solutions that comply with strict sustainability criteria.
The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, has awarded us the highest accreditation for environmental sustainability.
“At Haltermann Carless we pride ourselves as pioneers, having a tradition of innovation. We do that jointly with our stakeholders and partners along the value chains. This allows us to support our customers’ sustainability transformation, achieving 'Value x2' – for Haltermann Carless and our partners.”
Feedstock: Transformation in action
We are integrating biogenic, circular, and mass-balanced feedstocks into our processes, working closely with customers to deliver low-carbon alternatives without compromising performance. While some customers still require fossil-based products, we are committed to supplying these as climate-friendly as possible by reducing emissions at our facilities.
Regulatory compliance: A non-negotiable standard
We comply with all relevant regulations and standards. Our operations, products, and supply chains are fully aligned with international and local requirements. We uphold the highest standards of integrity and compliance, with globally binding guidelines, a robust Code of Conduct for employees and partners, and annual Modern Slavery Act statements. Our whistleblowing and data protection policies ensure transparency and trust.
Aligning with the UN SDGs
Through our materiality analysis, we have identified six priority Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where we can make the greatest impact, with a particular focus on:
- Responsible Consumption & Production (SDG 12):
Adapting our production and supply chains to reduce environmental impact, including circular business models and renewable energy use. - Climate Action (SDG 13):
Setting ambitious targets for emissions reduction and supporting customers with sustainable fuels and solvents.
Note: Other SDGs such as Gender Equality, Clean Water & Sanitation, Decent Work & Economic Growth, and Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure are referenced in our internal programs, but the website will focus on SDG 12 and 13 as per current strategic priorities.
Renewable feedstocks:
Increasing use of biogenic and renewable raw materials.
Renewable energy:
All major production sites in Germany and the UK use certified renewable electricity, saving around 8,000mt CO₂.
Resource Efficiency:
Programs to reduce water usage, increase recycling, and minimize waste disposal.
Circular Solutions:
Our Electrical Oil Services division collects used transformer oil, recycles it to as-new quality, and returns it to customers—supporting the circular economy.
