We don‘t talk. We act.
That environmental protection at Hydro is more than just words is proven by the figures.
Due to investments and changes in behavior, we have been able to reduce our water and energy consumption at our extrusion plant in Raeren by almost 30% within just two years.
In our anodizing department, we recycle all sulphuric acid.
Every piece of process waste is sorted, retrieved and reused.
Scrap metal is remelted and processed 100 percent in the extrusion process.

Safety First.
We work every day on designing our production processes to be even safer, continually training our own employees and including suppliers. The safety of our employees is the first priority in everything we do.

Extensive safety measures and awareness campaigns have improved our accident rate to virtually zero. Our record of the longest period without any accidents at work is more than three years.

All around Hydro, our plants are among the most environmentally conscious and safest in the industry.

It is proven that the plants which work safely and with respect for natural resources, produce the best quality.
