AlCircle: What measures have you initiated or already undertaken to declare Speira net zero by 2045? Don't you think this commitment is too ambitious?

Moritz Hansen: We are building our net zero roadmaps on four key pillars. We will constantly reduce our direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions (Scope 2) through electrification and alternative fuels, through the increased use of renewable energy for our processes and our continued drive to make our operations more and more energy efficient. The biggest portion of our CO2 emissions arises along the value chain (Scope 3). We work diligently on our metal input mix and the development of recycling-friendly alloys (RFAs) to increase the share of secondary aluminium to be used in our processes. Additionally, we are developing a sustainable procurement strategy to push our suppliers on sustainability.
