Sustainability at Shield Tech
Sustainability is not an add-on for us, but an integral part of our value creation—from development and procurement to delivery. We manage environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics systematically, measure progress, and continuously improve across the entire supply chain.
Embedded in the system: ISO 14001
Our environmental management system is certified according to ISO 14001. This commits us to clear objectives, risk-based planning, and a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle for continuous improvement—covering areas such as energy and resource efficiency, waste reduction, and regulatory compliance.
ISO 14001 is the globally recognized framework for effective environmental management systems and helps organizations reduce environmental impact while becoming more resilient.

Transparently assessed: EcoVadis Bronze
At the beginning of 2025, we set ourselves the goal of having our performance objectively assessed in the areas of environment, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. We achieved the EcoVadis Bronze Medal on our first attempt, placing us among the top 35% of evaluated companies.
Note:
EcoVadis assesses management systems in four areas: environment, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Since 2024, medals have been awarded based on percentiles (Bronze = top 35%). The medal is valid for 12 months.

Responsibility in the supply chain: Member of the RMI
As a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), we align with recognized due diligence standards and use established tools such as supply chain mapping, the Global Workplace Standards, and the CMRT and CRT templates to promote transparency across our supply chains.
The RMI supports more than 500 member companies with tools and data to ensure responsible sourcing—particularly from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

Our Focus Areas
We systematically reduce our emissions through targeted efficiency measures, consistent electrification of processes, and increased use of renewable energy. At the same time, we continuously optimize our energy consumption and identify further savings potential across our value chain.
This process is managed through our ISO 14001 management system, which includes clear metrics, defined responsibilities, and regular audits. In this way, we ensure transparency, traceability, and continuous improvement of our environmental performance.
