Leaving a
better world

‘Sustainable’ is not the first word that comes to mind when thinking about the metal industry. We are committed to change that. Leaving a better world for future generations is our shared goal. We know this will not be easy. It takes time and we cannot do it alone.

This is why we exist

The Way to a Sustainable Metal Industry

We at ROTO believe that together we can make a change. Our strength is based on our united efforts across all the ROTO Business Units. This also applies to our sustainability ambitions. In this article, we will give some updates on our efforts towards the above-mentioned Sustainable Development Goals.

Not only at ROTO, but also at our Business Units there are several efforts for a more sustainable environment and future. One of them is Prestia. In 2023, they will optimize a very sustainable process that has been going on since 2016: methanization to generate not only green electricity, but also heat for the Prestia SBG pre-treatment baths.

An important topic within sustainability is the continuous development of our family members. But how do they develop themselves? We’ve asked a few of our ROTO family members to talk about this topic. One of them is Patrick de Portzamparc (working at Prestia Holding), who keeps developing himself in new fields such as finance, IT, management and HR.

Integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals

‘Sustainable’ is not the first word that comes to mind when thinking about the metal industry. We are committed to change that. As ROTO, we have taken a first step towards this goal by integrating the Sustainable Development Goals into our core themes and translating them into KPIs.

Metal is the best alternative

Our Business Units have contributed to several projects that needed a strong and reliable material to save and preserve the construction. For these projects it was necessary to choose metal as other materials simply didn’t meet the requirements.

Metal

Our focus

Metal plays the main role in our activities. This is the playing field in which we want to be world champions. As ROTO, we want to add value to this chain. Excluding the use of other materials ensures our focus on metal!
