Level of ambition: STI Shaper

Scope of pledges
Programme status. Each participant carries a programme status that reflects the overall progress of its commitments: Engaged (commitments taken, work starting), Shaper (concrete measures under way), Leader (ambitious commitments largely delivered), Champion (the highest level, all commitments achieved and renewed). This status evolves over time.
Pledge levels. Every pledge is classified by ambition level, from 1 to 3, shown as dots next to its thematic. Level 1: a first, foundational commitment. Level 2: a concrete, measurable action with a defined target and timeline. Level 3: the most ambitious commitment, structural and verified against recognised standards.
Progress. Each pledge shows its progress: In progress (work under way within the agreed timeline), Achieved (target reached and validated), Delayed (timeline extended). Alumni companies keep their last recorded pledges and levels.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | By 2027, we increase the circularity of our bronze supply with 90 % coming from our machining chip recovery procedure, compared to 74 % (305 t) used in 2021.*
* The maximum threshold of 90 % is imposed by our manufacturing process and quality requirements. |

| 2 | By 2030, we achieve a recycling rate of 90 %, compared with 85 % in 2021.*
* Representing a reduction in our waste of 43.2 t, compared to a total of 917 t in 2021. Equivalent to a 5 % reduction in annual waste tonnage. Typical waste: foundry dross, flue gas cleaning sludge, PET, IT equipment, ceramic fibre, paper and graphite board. |

| 3 | By 2030, we reduce our greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 50 % compared to 713 tCO2eq in 2021, and by 2024, we commit to the SME Climate Commitment.*
* Measures to reduce Scope 3 emissions are currently being calculated and will be available by the end of 2023. See SME Climate Hub. |
