ESG

More crucial than ever

Environmental, Social & Governance

We take our responsibility and contribute to a more sustainable future. We are committed to making a positive impact for future generations by leveraging our engineering expertise, material know-how, and state-of-the-art technologies.

 

 

"For us, as a supplier of high lift structures, complex mechanical assemblies, and major functional components for the aviation industry, integrating ESG principles is not just about regulatory compliance or public relations. It is essential for sustainable growth, risk management, and long-term profitability."

Eric Deneus - ESG Director

Our dedication to sustainability is reflected in our concrete achievements year after year. Last year, we made significant strides toward our ambition of becoming a company with a net positive impact:

  • Asco joined the Clean Aviation Project as an associated member, participating in several R&I projects like I-SPOT, MASTERS, and the A220 Sustainable Line of the Future.
  • Asco reduced non-hazardous waste by over 15%, thanks to improved coolant management at our facility in Germany.
  • Asco increased our waste recycling rate to 82%.
  • Our facilities in the USA and Canada achieved over one year without Lost Time Injuries.
  • We engaged with schools, colleges, and universities through internships, research projects, and educational visits.

Looking ahead, we are committed to further advancing our ESG initiatives:

  • Asco aims to participate in Belgium’s VOKA Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship, a step towards obtaining the SDG Pioneer certificate from the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR).
  • Asco will install 20 additional charging stations for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, supporting our employees’ shift to greener transportation.
  • Asco is launching bike leasing programs to reduce our environmental impact from commuting and promote a healthy lifestyle.
  • Asco will continue to set ambitious targets for energy consumption and waste reduction.
