OUR SUSTAINABILITY STORY
As an innovative market leader, responsible manufacturer and employer, Forbo Movement Systems sets standards in terms of health, safety, environment and emphasizes superior product quality. Treating resources responsibly is one of Forbo Movement Systems’ fundamental principles, as well as investing in R&D capacities to develop sustainable products. We are committed to acting in accordance with the definition of sustainable development as adopted by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (General Assembly Resolution) in 1987. Under this definition, development is sustainable if it “meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and choose their lifestyle.”
We care
In order to evaluate and incorporate responsibility for these actions, the company’s activities are assessed from three perspectives by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): The environmental dimension (E), the social dimension (S), and the governance dimension (G). In the chemical industry, we are a global player that produces belts from composite materials. As a result, we constantly investigate to find solutions that make our products more environmentally friendly and allow us to operate responsibly. Especially today when climate change becomes increasingly apparent. It goes without saying that social and governance dimensions are also very important. However, making our operations and products sustainable is the most effective way of ensuring the world itself is more sustainable. We follow the five R’s of sustainability: refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle to create a more eco-friendly future.
Committed to making a difference.
SUSTAINABLE BELTING SOLUTIONS
We care. Sustainability management provides the framework for the programs at Forbo Movement Systems. It drives this topic proactively within the organization and is spearheaded by the sustainability council. The council consists of different members of our management board and the Executive Vice President and is coordinated by the sustainability manager. The roadmap provides a structured approach to the current initiatives and those in the pipeline. Committed to making a difference.

MESSAGE FROM MARC DEIMLING
In an era characterized by continuous change, our industry faces both unprecedented challenges and extraordinary opportunities. Geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and the escalating effects of climate change have fundamentally reshaped the global landscape. These forces require not only resilience, but also proactive and responsible leadership. The urgency to act has never been greater, and we at Forbo Movement Systems are determined to do so. Sustainability has been an integral part of our business for many years now, guiding our endeavors to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing world. The need to minimize our impact on the environment, reduce our carbon footprint and build more sustainable supply chains is no longer just an economic imperative, but a moral obligation. Our industry has a critical role to play in shaping the infrastructure and technologies that will drive a sustainable future, and we are determined to lead by example in encouraging this change.
