ESG and Compliance

Our ESG Vision

At Anvil Industries, sustainability and responsibility drives our business. We integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles to create long-term value, innovate for a greener future, and uphold ethical business practices.

Environmental Leadership

We are cutting emissions and increasing renewable energy use to reduce our carbon footprint. We enhance sustainability transparency by focusing on Product Carbon Footprints (PCF), while our investment in on-site solar energy underscores our dedication to clean energy.

Empowering People

Our people are at the heart of our success. We foster a diverse, safe, and growth-oriented workplace, investing in continuous learning, well-being, and a culture where every voice matters. Health and safety are top priorities, with continuous improvements in procedures and training. By investing in education and professional growth, we ensure our employees are prepared for future challenges.

Business Integrity

Integrity shapes everything we do. Through Our Code of Conduct, we promote transparency, ethical behavior, and accountability. Additionally, we collaborate closely with suppliers to ensure sustainable and responsible supply chain practices, building trust and long-term partnerships.

Together, we’re building a responsible, forward-thinking business that drives sustainable progress for our customers, partners, and communities.

Certification & Reporting

We recognize the importance of measuring and sharing our sustainability performance. In 2024, we successfully started our Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), marking the first phase of our journey toward full CSRD compliance. Moving forward, we will refine our policies and key performance indicators.

As a producer of semi-finished products and assemblies without intentional release of substances, we are not subject to registration under REACH. Nevertheless, we actively monitor REACH compliance within our supply chain to ensure that our products do not contain substances from the SVHC list in a concentration of more than 0.1% (w/w), unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Conflict Minerals Declaration

The Conflict Minerals (CM) Regulation imposes due diligence obligations on EU importers of certain minerals or metals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas, aiming to stop the financing of armed groups in developing countries.

The Regulation specifically applies to EU importers of minerals or metals containing tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold (commonly referred to as 3TG), if the annual imported volume per relevant mineral or metal exceeds the volume thresholds established by the Regulation. Although the Regulation does not directly apply to Anvil Industries Holding B.V., we endorse its objectives and have informed our suppliers about conflict minerals. We request them to fulfill their obligations and provide a written declaration upon request. Upon request, we provide relevant information to our stakeholders.
