Sustainability at RGE
At RGE we believe that doing business and protecting the environment should be on the same side of the equation. As one of the largest global producers in the bioeconomy, we help tackle some of the greatest challenges facing the planet.
Our bio-based products replace plastics. Our alternative sources of energy reduce carbon emissions. And our eco-friendly materials enable our customers to manufacture sustainable, recyclable and biodegradable products used by billions of people every day.
Our business
Sustainability is integral to our business model
Sustainability is central to our business model. Across the group of companies, our 2030 targets share common commitments and principles to drive meaningful impact. In addition to our zero tolerance for deforestation, we endeavour to drive carbon emissions reduction and net zero initiatives. We seek to go beyond no-deforestation and actively support projects that safeguard biodiversity and nature conservation.
We also continue to push for greater transparency and traceability of raw material sourcing in the industries where we operate. As we strive towards circularity in our operations, we also work closely with stakeholders to help uplift the lives of communities near our operations, so that our shared progress remains inclusive.
