Our sustainability strategy

Sustainable mineral compounds

As a distribution company for mineral raw materials, we take responsibility throughout the entire supply chain – from the selection of our partners to the safe delivery to our customers.

For us, sustainability means not just environmental awareness, but also social responsibility and compliance. That is why we rely on certified standards, use platforms such as Sedex and EcoVadis for transparency, and conduct CSR risk analyses for every product and country of origin.

We source exclusively green electricity, use CO₂-neutral energy sources, and continuously reduce our resource consumption.
We create transparency around Scope 3 emissions so our customers receive reliable data for audits and ESG reporting.
We promote sustainable mobility (JobRad, e‑mobility) and invest in the physical and mental well-being of our employees.
We protect human rights and social standards through stricter supplier qualification processes and audits.
We are socially committed: every year, we donate a six‑figure amount to the Dr. Rudolf & Renate Seidel Foundation, which supports education, culture, and people in need.

Your advantage as a business partner

What this means for you as a customer: reliable, audit-proof supply chains, products that meet the highest quality and sustainability standards, and a partner that demonstrates commitment and lives by important values.

With MAGNESIA, you not only secure compliance and reputation – you invest in a future-proof partnership and strengthen your own ESG performance.

Our CSR contribution based on the UN sustainability goals

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations form a global framework for a fair, environmentally friendly, and future-proof world. They cover topics such as climate protection, responsible consumption, quality education, gender equality, and decent work, and address key challenges for the economy, society, and the environment.

For us, the SDGs serve as a guide to direct our measures, make progress measurable, and continuously develop our commitment.

We are initially focusing on the following UN Sustainability Goals:

Quality education

We promote education and development – internally and externally. We attract new talent through apprenticeships, dual study programs, and internships. Additional programs such as Business English courses and workshops strengthen personal skills. As an IHK training ambassador, we engage in schools. In addition, through the Dr. Rudolf & Renate Seidel Foundation we support gifted students, promote art and culture, and help people in need. We allocate a six-figure amount for this annually.

Gender equality

We live a culture of respect and equal opportunity. Discrimination and harassment have no place here. All employees receive equal opportunities – regardless of gender, background, or identity. We particularly support women and strive for a balanced gender ratio at all levels and in leadership positions. To this end, we have established a designated person for diversity and equality.

Affordable and clean energy

Clean energy is at the heart of our sustainability strategy. For years, we have been using 100% renewable electricity and heating with CO₂-neutral raw materials, backed by certificates. In this way, we reduce our environmental footprint and make an active contribution to climate protection.

Decent work

We offer fair working conditions and promote pay equity and youth employment protection. As a FaMi-certified company, we rely on family-friendly measures such as flexible working hours, remote work options, and 30 days of annual leave. Health programs, JobRad leasing, and ergonomic workstations promote well-being. Together with partners, we demand and monitor compliance with labor and human rights throughout the supply chain.

Reduced inequalities

We commit our suppliers to upholding ecological and social standards. A code of conduct and product-related CSR risk analyses help us identify risks at an early stage and take targeted countermeasures. This is how we create fair conditions throughout the entire supply chain.

Sustainable cities and communities

We promote sustainable mobility: Employees use the JobRad bike-leasing program and participate in initiatives like “City Cycling.” Our fleet already consists exclusively of electric and hybrid vehicles. On-site charging stations supply both company and guest vehicles with 100% green electricity.

Sustainable consumption & production

We focus on environmentally friendly alternatives for packaging materials and prefer local products. Marketing materials are made from recycled paper and fairly produced textiles, and local printing companies are increasingly replacing online printers—also to reduce our carbon footprint.

Climate protection measures

We reduce energy and water consumption, use green electricity, and avoid plastic and paper. CO₂-neutral mobility, sustainable transport systems, and LED technology with sensor control are integral parts of our strategy. Remote work and digital processes complement our climate protection measures.

Downloads and resources

Our sustainability and compliance documents provide a concise overview of how MAGNESIA understands and implements responsibility throughout the value chain. The MAGNESIA Sustainability Report outlines our strategic priorities, measures, and progress on ecological and social topics. The EcoVadis Scorecard complements this perspective by offering an independent external assessment of our sustainability performance.

The Sedex Report serves as a standardized compliance certificate and documents our adherence to social, ethical, and employment-related standards within our supply chain. The binding foundation for this is our Code of Conduct, which defines clear values and standards for integrity, sustainability, and legally compliant behavior.
