Sustainability – what we do
Finke Colors has been consistently committed to green electricity since 2014. 100% of the electricity we purchase comes from renewable energy sources. In this way, we have been actively contributing for many years to reducing our company’s CO₂ emissions and promoting a sustainable energy supply.
The use of electricity from renewable energy sources has a direct impact on our carbon footprint. In Scope 2 in particular—which covers all indirect emissions from purchased energy such as electricity—emissions can be significantly reduced as a result. For a manufacturing company like Finke Colors, where energy is a key factor in value creation, this represents an important lever for reducing emissions.
Finke Colors has calculated its corporate carbon footprint, thereby laying an important foundation for the targeted and transparent further development of its sustainability initiatives. This systematic data collection makes it possible to identify relevant sources of emissions and develop concrete reduction measures.
As part of the sustainability goals of the Kafrit Group, to which Finke Colors has belonged since October 2025, we are continuously working to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Thanks to the consistent use of 100% green electricity since 2014, Scope 2 emissions have already been reduced to zero. We view addressing our carbon footprint as an ongoing process aimed at reducing emissions in the long term and offering responsibly produced, high-performance solutions.
We place great value on consistent and structured waste management. Throughout the company, all material streams are carefully tracked and separated—from cardboard and paper to wood and metals, as well as internal plastic fractions from production. Many of these materials are already fully recycled or sent for high-value recovery.
A detailed annual report, prepared by a specialized waste management partner, serves as our central management tool. It provides transparency regarding quantities, disposal routes, costs, credits, and savings, while also highlighting trends, deviations from the previous year, and specific opportunities for optimization. Based on this, we continuously improve our processes and actively contribute to resource conservation.
Finke Colors participates annually in the EcoVadis sustainability assessment, an internationally recognized rating system for corporate responsibility in the areas of the environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
Regular participation enables us to systematically review our sustainability performance and present it transparently.
The EcoVadis assessment serves as an important tool for us to identify our current status and plan for further development. It helps us identify strengths, uncover areas for improvement, and develop targeted measures. At the same time, it ensures comparability and transparency for our customers, partners, and suppliers.
