We take responsibility for our future

For centuries, the Black Forest has been home to forging technology. And it is our home. People from all over the world come to our region to experience its beauty. To preserve it for future generations, we take our responsibility seriously and contribute to sustainable development. We are proud to be leaders in environmental and climate protection. We act locally, think globally. Our personal drive, supported by a certified energy management system, continuously leads to further improvements in energy efficiency.

Sustainability
Update 2025

Our mission: To always contribute effectively to climate protection through innovation. In doing so, we also offer our customers added value in achieving their climate protection goals.

To better illustrate our past commitment and our medium-term objectives, we have developed the NEUMAYER Sustainability Update. In this format, we communicate transparently and in detail about almost all activities within the scope of our understanding of sustainability according to ESG criteria, as well as our contribution to achieving the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal:

Innovation & Cooperation

It is the responsibility of our generation, which is why, as a very energy-intensive company, we have consistently expanded our contribution to climate protection for many years. Through innovations and the use of 100% green electricity, we have already reduced our CO2 footprint in our direct sphere of influence by over 90% and are among the pioneers in climate protection.

Renewable Energy

Since January 2021, we have been sourcing 100 percent of our electricity from hydropower plants that meet the strict criteria of TÜV Süd certification. We have installed a solar system on our halls, with which we cover our basic needs.

Resource-efficient Production

As much water as possible is treated locally and returned to the cycle. The forging processes are designed to generate minimal waste. We advise our customers to make the best possible use of the lightweight construction potential in forged parts. This saves steel, weight, and energy.

Education & Employees

Creating jobs & imparting knowledge. Offering sustainable and secure jobs, solid training, and further education opportunities are integral parts of our sustainability strategy. We inform our employees about our environmental and climate protection activities and encourage them to contribute their own ideas. Apprentices can participate in various projects, such as those involving the use of waste process heat. Environmental protection training is a fixed part of the educational curriculum.

Environmentally friendly travel

We prefer to travel by train or public transport whenever possible. Online meetings save us time, costs, and energy. Anyone who wishes can use our bicycle leasing program. Our fleet consists of efficient hybrid and diesel vehicles.

We think in all dimensions

We research, develop, and invest to always offer our customers the highest standard of forging and machining technology. The close and trusting cooperation between management, employees, suppliers, business contacts, and customers is the driving force behind our innovative strength.

Achieving goals together

We are a partner of the industry initiative "NOCARBforging 2050" of the Industrial Association for Mass Forming (IMU), which pursues the goal of CO2-neutral mass forming. As part of the massiverLEICHTBAU initiative, we are working on reducing the weight of vehicle parts – for lower CO2 emissions and better material and resource efficiency. Furthermore, we are a member of the VEA-INITIATIVE Climate-Friendly SMEs to secure the competitiveness of German SMEs and Germany as a production location despite ambitious climate protection goals. The initiative advocates for political frameworks that enable climate-friendly and economically viable action. Ultimately, we also want to further drive sustainable progress as a member of the CDP and have had our strategic sustainability goals validated by the Science Based Targets (SBTi). The initiative scientifically assesses whether companies' climate protection goals are in line with the 1.5-degree target.
