Tomorrow Metals is our pledge to leverage our metals to address all the challenges of sustainability.
We are committed to consistently delivering more value with a lower environmental footprint. Our concept of sustainability covers the key areas of the economy, the environment, and people.
Our mission is to responsibly create value from raw materials by producing metals for an innovative world. Respect for our planet is not optional — it underscores everything we do.
Tomorrow Metals reflects our unwavering dedication to this path. We recover valuable metals, reduce emissions wherever possible, and work to close loops in a linear industry.
We don’t have all the solutions just yet. But there’s a lot we can accomplish today. And that is exactly what we are focused on — grounded in facts, fully transparent, and step by step. To make industry more efficient, responsible and sustainable. Not perfect. But better. Because responsibility starts here and now.
Our greatest impact? Lower impact.
We are concentrating on the essentials: reducing emissions, promoting the circular economy, protecting ecosystems, and taking responsibility for our actions.

We are forging the future. Not someday. Right now.
Respect for our planet is not optional — it underscores everything we do. We believe in a new era of metals: circular by design, cleanly produced, responsibly transparent. Tomorrow Metals is not a slogan. It is our promise — and our mission.

Sustainability excellence: our certificates and awards
Aurubis is setting the standards for sustainable metal recycling and prestigious certificates and awards have recognized our achievements.
Responsibility
We prioritize harmony between the economy, people and the environment in everything we do. We instill sustainability and transparency into every stage of the value chain, guarantee accountability in all business relationships, and foster strong partnerships. This is how we build trust, strengthen supply chains, and deliver metals that meet the needs of today — and anticipate those of tomorrow.
Environmental impact
We are committed to creating increasingly more value with an ever-decreasing environmental footprint. So we are reducing emissions, promoting the circular economy, and investing in global standards to future-proof our processes. We are not just shaping the metal industry of tomorrow but also working to protect our planet today.
Decarbonization
By decarbonizing our production, we are actively contributing to the 1.5°C target of the Paris Climate Agreement. Today, our CO₂ footprint is already less that half the global average for many metals — and we are steadily working to cut our emissions by up to 50% and targeting carbon-neutral production well before 2050.
Circularity
We continue to expand our multimetal recycling to strengthen the circular economy and conserve natural resources. With an annual capacity of over one million tons and 43 % recycled content in our copper cathodes, we are setting global standards — and aiming to increase this share to 50 % by 2030. Over 150 partnerships and new facilities, like our flagship recycling plant in the US, are driving this progress forward.
