ID Casting: A Commitment to Sustainable Development
Respect for people and the environment are the ID Casting Group’s top priorities.
Our goal is to reduce our CO2 emissions intensity by 60% by 2030 compared to 2021.
‘s Iconic Commitment to the Environment
To offer our customers technical solutions made from zinc and magnesium alloys whose properties minimize their environmental impact: recyclability without loss of mechanical properties, and flowability that allows for optimized shapes and weight, thereby reducing energy consumption and finishing operations. Whether it involves eco-design of products, employee training, or reducing environmental impacts, the group is committed to an environmental charter. Given the eco-design requirements demanded by global industries today, die casting remains a model of sustainable development due to its low energy consumption.
‘s Ongoing Policy of Continuous Improvement
Committed to protecting the environment in a sustainable manner, ID Casting is a member of several environmental organizations, including ECOVADIS, a platform specializing in corporate social responsibility (CSR) that assesses our group’s CSR performance as a supplier in order to understand and improve our social and environmental practices.
The EcoVadis rating assesses a broad range of non-financial management systems, including their impact in the following areas: Environment, Social & Human Rights, Ethics, and Responsible Sourcing. Each company is assessed on key issues based on its size, location, and industry.
As an ambassador for innovation, always seeking creative solutions that are environmentally responsible, ID Casting is a member of Expérience Zamak, an association that brings together foundries, alloy producers and recyclers, manufacturers of machinery and industrial equipment, suppliers, and users, whose goal is to promote zinc alloys.

Reducing OurCO2 Emissions
To address environmental challenges, ID CASTING has implemented an energy conservation plan.
The group first focused on natural gas consumption (for building heating) by implementing a system that recovers heat dissipated by air compressors and by lowering the setpoint temperature in the facilities to 19°C. We are now continuing to optimize the electrical efficiency of our processes (modularizing compressors based on usage; maintenance of the air distribution system; insulation of furnaces; transition to LED technology; process cooling systems; adjusting operating hours based on production load; and purchasing renewable energy).
These efforts have resulted in a 46% reduction in ourCO2 emissions per kilogram of metal delivered by 2025 (a 52% reduction relative to revenue). ID CASTING’s goal is to reduce its carbon footprint by 60% by 2030.
| Summary of OurCO2 Emissions | 2021 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 – natural gas (in metric tons ofCO2 equivalent) | 302.6 | 98.1 |
| Scope 2 – Electricity (in metric tons ofCO2 equivalent) | 1,034.9 | 542.7 |
