To meet emissions targets, avoid carbon border tariffs, and reduce energy costs, governments and industries alike are seeking ways to reduce carbon emissions. It’s reported that global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are largely driven by industrial energy use, hence decarbonizing heavy industry would have a direct impact on reducing emissions and mitigate climate change.
ae group an award-winning HPDC company, steps up as industry leader, contributing its innovative manufacturing process which realizes carbon neutral:
“We believe that as a company, we can make a positive contribution to the transformation of the high pressure die casting and automotive industry by producing CO2 neutral and supporting the environment,” says Koen Beckers, CEO of ae group.
With the comprehensive experience succeeding in carbon neutral manufacturing, ae is contributing through 3 aspects in the mission of sustainability:
1. supporting challenges and innovations as the expert for green light metal casting machining parts and finish components
2. Striving to be a global strategic partner for the CO2 neutral mobility of the future
3. Designing a successful and sustainable future for our environment
A good example here is the switch to not melt aluminum anymore buyers but get it in fluid state to delivered from a local supplier, in which way ae has overall saved 8 million kilograms of CO2 emissions since 2016.
During its more than 40 years of uninterrupted innovating and developing, ae attains its commitments to the customers, the industry, and the world at large, by always satisfying and adapting quickly to the demands. As Ronja Hagemann, the Quality Assurance at ae group explains, “what makes ae group innovative is that we can adapt to the different situations as well as the customers and market needs.”
For instance, ae group establishes a long-term partnership with ZF. One of the representatives from ZF praises their evolving and mutually beneficial partnership, “ae group is helping us to continuously improve our products parallel, develop new products and technologies for our customers.”
ae firmly supports ZF’s initiative of Next Generation Mobility and its ambitious target of achieving climate neutral by 2040.
Furthermore, ae is well aware of the obstacles for every industry in achieving absolutely zero carbon emission, however it’s the effort that counts. “At least there's a way to compensate for these emissions and ae group chose the possibility to compensate,” says Ronja Hagemann. ae throws itself into limiting the impact of CO2 emissions by helping to by a hydro plant in India and providing power support improving the living conditions for the people there.
Like Koen Beckers suggests, “crucial in the translation towards our strategy are our people”, ae fulfills its sustainability journey with responsibilities towards the employees, by collaborating with local communities such as fire departments, and launching initiatives such as Trees of Life project to advocate the necessities in sustainability publicly.
ae group will continuously move towards the goal of sustainability, having achieved carbon neutral productions on the one hand, dedicating in becoming strategic partners for business who share the same vision and endeavoring for the people living in the environment on the other.
