Supporting Sustainable Construction

A key element of PCI’s corporate policy.

Supporting Sustainable Construction
Sustainability and resource efficiency have become increasingly important topics within the construction industry. As a result, transparency and reliable information are gaining relevance throughout the value chain.

These topics have long been part of PCI Augsburg GmbH's corporate approach. Alongside responsible business practices and the careful use of resources, PCI considers environmental aspects in various areas of its operations and product portfolio.

Since May 2023, PCI Augsburg GmbH has been part of Sika. Sustainability is an important focus area both within the Sika Group and at PCI. As integration progresses, activities and initiatives are increasingly aligned across the organization, including in the field of sustainability.

Our Road to Net Zero

Sustainability is a strategic focus area within the Sika Group.


Sika supports the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company's emission reduction targets are aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement.


Sika has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Net zero refers to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a range of measures across the value chain, rather than relying primarily on carbon offsetting.


Sika's emission reduction targets for Scopes 1, 2 and 3 were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in May 2024.


Resources & Recycling

Resource efficiency and recycling are considered throughout various stages of the value chain, from product development and manufacturing to packaging. PCI Augsburg GmbH follows the Responsible Care® management system and takes environmental aspects into account when selecting raw materials and packaging materials.


Approximately 5% of the raw materials used originate from recycled or renewable sources, while around 55% are derived from mineral resources.


PCI Augsburg GmbH also implements measures to increase the use of recycled and renewable materials in product packaging. The paper used for paper bags is sourced from renewable raw materials from sustainably managed forests. In addition, approximately 200 tonnes of plastic packaging are manufactured from recycled materials.


Recycling processes are also used at the production sites in Augsburg, Wittenberg and Hamm. Approximately 84% of production waste, primarily powder-based materials, is recycled and reused, for example in the production of concrete blocks or as backfilling material in mining operations. This corresponds to around 205 tonnes per year.

Transparency

PCI Augsburg GmbH provides information on relevant certifications, environmental labels and product declarations to support transparency and informed product selection.


Depending on the product, these include certifications and declarations such as EC1 PLUS, the Blue Angel, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and declarations issued by independent organizations.


Approximately 82% of PCI products are classified as very low-emission and carry the EC1 or EC1 PLUS label in accordance with GEV-EMICODE®.


PCI Augsburg GmbH regularly reviews and further develops its activities in the areas of sustainability, resource efficiency and transparency.
