Collaborating through social day initiatives
Helping people who need support gives us a sense of purpose beyond our business. This reality was behind the decision by Teijin Aramid Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) sales office to start a new, ongoing initiative called ‘Social Day’. Every employee in the EMEA sales office can spend one working day a year volunteering with aid organizations.
Support for the Tafel in Wuppertal: The Tafel is an organization that provides food and essentials free of charge to those in need. The EMEA Industrial Team supported their activities for a day by assembling furniture and sorting food for distribution to the needy.
Partnering to reduce CO₂ emissions: Trees for All
Climate & biodiversity
At Teijin Aramid, our first focus is to avoid and reduce CO₂ emissions, but we also want to offset our emissions in a sustainable and impactful way. This is why we partnered with Trees for All, a foundation that plants trees in the Netherlands, Bolivia, Mexico and elsewhere. Donations from Teijin Aramid to this non-profit organization are used for their CBF- and ANBI-certified projects and we receive certificates for compensated CO₂ emissions.
Each year Teijin Aramid compensates for the amount of CO₂ emitted during business travel by car and airplane – in 2022 the donations covered approximately 336.29 tons of CO₂ emissions.
By planting trees, Trees for All aims to restore degraded land, enhance biodiversity and help combat climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These goals are at the heart of Teijin Aramid’s true purpose – to be a business that plays its part in contributing to a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable future for all.
