Sustainability
Luvata’s vision is to be the leading provider of copper solutions for the benefit of People, Society and the Earth. We are aiming to grow with our customers and to build a better future together for all of us and future generations. The products we produce contribute to sustainability drivers like the green transition, the electrification of our societies and transportation, and healthcare.

From the social responsibility perspective, our ambition is to be the preferred employer through continuous improvement of our health, safety and working conditions. We also focus on contributing positively to our communities.
“As a global company, we have the power to contribute positively to a better future, and that is a responsibility we take seriously. We all want to see a more sustainable future, and Luvata is determined to be a force for good in the development of e-mobility, the green transition, electrification and in healthcare and scientific research.
The world is changing rapidly, and with our history of innovation and collaboration, we are well placed to develop technically-demanding products which deliver exactly what is needed and make the most of the resources available to us. This is what drives us, and this is why we have pledged Partnerships with a Promise. We are determined to benefit people, society and the Earth and play our part in building a better tomorrow.”
