SMA Mineral - A world full of lime
Our vision is for SMA Mineral to be the natural choice for value creation and sustainable development. Our long-term plans are based on balancing active contribution to the climate transition with ensuring the company’s continued competitiveness. As our customers are leaders within their respective industries, we must drive our work with the same level of ambition.
Our responsibility in the transition – in line with the Paris Agreement As an operation with significant process emissions, we have a substantial responsibility to contribute to global climate goals. All of our sustainability work–from strategic objectives to focus areas and roadmaps–has been designed to support the Paris Agreement.
Unfortunately, our previous interim target to halve the Group’s carbon emissions by 2030 has had to be adjusted to 2033. This delay is due to several external factors, including limited electricity availability, lengthy permitting processes, and the fact that technical solutions are not yet commercially available to the extent required. Despite this, our ambition remains firm, and our action plans continue to be designed to support the transition in line with the Paris Agreement over the long term.
We continuously work to reduce our climate impact, strengthen resource efficiency, and develop our processes towards more sustainable and competitive solutions. This includes technical investments, process optimisations, and systematic work on innovation and energy efficiency.
SMA Mineral continues to work systematically on emissions reductions, energy efficiency, and technical choices to strengthen our climate performance in the long term in line with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement. The objective is to progressively improve the conditions for inclusion in increasingly ambitious climate-related investment strategies over time. SMA Mineral is included in the EU’s Paris-aligned benchmark.
Our operations take place directly in and near natural environments where extraction occurs, resulting in a significant impact on landscapes and ecosystems.
We work systematically to minimise environmental damage, reduce intrusion, and ensure that impacts are managed responsibly and over the long term. In every project, we aim to plan, implement, and follow up on our activities to protect sensitive environments, safeguard local species, and conserve biodiversity.
Through ecological assessments, restoration measures, and active land rehabilitation, we work to ensure that natural values are maintained or restored even after operations have ceased.
Our transition and environmental responsibility require new skills and long-term development efforts. To succeed, SMA Mineral must be an attractive employer offering good working conditions, clear values, and a safe and inclusive work environment. This approach permeates our focus areas and guides the way we organise our sustainability work.
Our strategic objectives and focus areas are based on the double materiality assessment, through which we identify the company’s greatest impacts and risks – including climate impact, biodiversity and safety – as well as the issues that are most important to our stakeholders.
In 2024, a significant step was taken through the double materiality assessment, resulting in four new strategic objectives. These objectives – together with previously established ones – form the basis for updated focus areas, activities, and a revised roadmap guiding our ongoing sustainability work. During 2025, the objectives were broken down into concrete OKRs, which were anchored throughout the organisation to create clarity and drive action.
We try to produce our products with the utmost consideration for the environment, health, and safety. This means striving to minimise our environmental impact, protect the ecosystems in which we operate, and contribute to sustainable societal development.
