Sustainability is not a trend, but part of our DNA. This is confirmed by the current award received by SSI SCHÄFER Plastics within the framework of the CDP KMU Climate Ratings 2024: Our company has received the highest rating – a KMU B. This puts us among the pioneers among the more than 12,500 participating small and medium-sized enterprises worldwide.
A strong signal for transparency and climate protection
By participating in the CDP questionnaire specifically developed for KMUs, we have taken a significant step: We are openly disclosing our climate strategy and actively driving sustainable change. The assessment by the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) demonstrates our consistent commitment to environmental transparency and concrete climate protection measures.
The CDP KMU Climate Rating award confirms our consistent efforts in the area of sustainability. Transparency and concrete climate protection measures are not short-term trends for us, but are firmly anchored in our corporate strategy. We will continue to work specifically to make our processes even more resource-efficient and continuously reduce our carbon footprint.

CDP as a driver for sustainable transformation
The CDP rating is more than an award — it's a tool for further developing our sustainability strategy. It helps us better understand the opportunities and risks associated with climate change and target our actions even more effectively. At the same time, it provides our partners in finance, procurement, and policymaking with a reliable basis for decision-making.
Disclosing our climate strategy helps us meet future legal requirements and position our company as a reliable partner for sustainable solutions.
Looking to the future: Sustainability as a continuous process
Participation in the CDP KMU Climate Rating 2024 is an important milestone for us – and also an incentive to continue consistently on our path. We will use the insights gained to further optimize our processes, drive innovation, and continuously reduce our carbon footprint.
One thing is already clear for 2025: SSI SCHÄFER Plastics will stay on track – we will continue to participate in the CDP SME Climate Rating next year and thus continuously develop our sustainability strategy.
Together for a sustainable future
We are proud of this award and thank all our employees and partners who have supported us on this journey. Together, we are shaping a resource-efficient future – responsibly, transparently, and with a clear focus on sustainable action.
