The Umicore Way fundamentals apply everywhere we operate and set the standards for how we lead, perform and take responsibility for our impact. Â
Â
Our strategy sets out our business goals and ambitions, including environmental, social, and governance objectives. The Umicore Way shows how we achieve these goals and reflects our broader commitment to sustainable development – a commitment that extends to all our stakeholders, worldwide. Â
Â
The Umicore Way is supported by detailed company codes and charters, including the Umicore Code of Conduct, the Umicore Corporate Governance Charter, the Belgian Code on Corporate Governance, and the Umicore Dealing Code.Â
We believe that metal-based materials are enablers of value creation and key to fundamental advancements for society. They can be efficiently and infinitely recycled, which makes them the basis for sustainable products and services. Â
Â
Applying Umicore’s circular business model, our people refine, recycle and transform critical and valuable metals into solutions that society relies on every day. As a leader in technology-enabling materials and high-performance recycling, we are at the core of people’s lives – driving progress, today and for generations to come.Â
With decades of expertise in material science, chemistry, metallurgy and metals management, we work closely with our customers to understand their needs, applications and systems. We focus on areas where we can make a difference and become a market leader. We are committed to growing our business by applying our deep expertise, operational excellence and innovation, anchored in a culture of safety and compliance.Â
Courage, collaboration and accountability
Our values are crucial to our success. We actively promote these values and address any gaps in a constructive way.Â
