Committed to environmental protection.

Protecting and conserving our environment - that's what defines us.


Energy and emissions

Reduce footprint - create added value.

In times like these, efficient energy utilisation is a top priority. 
This is why AMAG Austria Metall AG is also focussing on renewable energy generation and is making a valuable contribution here with Austria's largest rooftop photovoltaic systems. 
In the long term, fossil fuels are to be completely replaced - a challenge for companies. 
The AMAG Group is already working intensively on ideas and approaches for a sustainable electricity generation and supply for both the company and the region.

Further information on decarbonisation can be found here.


Water

Water cycle
Water as a resource is used and consumed sustainably and carefully by AMAG Austria Metall AG. It is used for cooling during the casting of rolling slabs. The cooling water is recycled. Improvements to the circulation systems have made it possible to keep water consumption and specific water withdrawal constant over the years, despite increasing production capacity.


Biodiversity

We protect meadows, forests, and bees.

The preservation and promotion of biodiversity are important components of the AMAG Group's commitment to sustainability. Green space management on the company premises and the management of the company's own forest are at the forefront here. AMAG Austria Metall AG also cooperates with the Upper Austria-Salzburg Beekeeping Association to breed healthy bees in the recreational area around the Ranshofen site. In 2022, success was achieved in a research project on varroa-resistant bees.

In 2024, AMAG opened a forest trail around two kilometres long, inviting visitors of all ages to explore the fascinating world of the forest in all its facets. 
The AMAG forest trail makes it possible to experience how forests are changing and adapting in the wake of climate change. 
At various stations, visitors can find out which tree species are sustainable, why old trees play a key role in biodiversity and how sensitive species 
such as spruce react to rising temperatures. Historical insights also show how the forest has changed since the 1950s - into a resilient, climate-fit ecosystem.
