For over 20 years we have been turning ambition into action—innovating circular solutions, responsible sourcing and advancing the technologies needed for a low-carbon tomorrow.

At Umicore sustainability is woven into how we operate, innovate and grow

We take action, make progress and are well on our way to meeting key milestones. As a global group with a global footprint, we continue to find innovative opportunities big and small to reach our goals. Our Let's Go for Zero ambitions are behind our drive to minimize our environmental footprint and maximize our positive impact for both people and the planet.
