Aurubis Receives German Sustainability Award for Metal Production

Aurubis AG, a global non-ferrous metals leader, has been honored with the 17th German Sustainability Award in the Metal Sector. This prestigious European recognition highlights Aurubis' commitment to carbon-neutral and circular metal production. The company, which previously reached the finals in 2022, has since intensified its sustainability efforts.

CEO Dr. Toralf Haag emphasized the company's ambition to become the most sustainable smelter network globally. Aurubis has invested heavily in environmental protection and innovative technologies, including CO2-free heat extraction and hydrogen-ready anode furnaces. Such measures significantly cut emissions, with recent improvements in copper cathode production reducing their carbon footprint by over 40% in the last 11 years.
