Archey is committed to science-based climate goals

What is SBTi, and why is it relevant?

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) helps companies worldwide align their emissions reduction targets with climate science. This means setting targets that are consistent with the Paris Agreement and limiting global warming to well below 2°C.

For companies like Archey, which operate in the technical supply chain, this means, in practical terms:

• Reduction of direct and indirect emissions, for example through the electrification of the vehicle fleet, energy-efficient warehouse design, and renewable energy.
• Analysis and mitigation of emissions resulting from raw materials, transportation, packaging, or energy use.
• Data-driven reporting on progress, with transparent communication to the market and stakeholders.

What does this mean for Archey's customers?

Customers expect not only high-quality fastening solutions, but also evidence that these solutions contribute to broader sustainability goals. Through its participation in the SBTi, Archey offers:

• A supply partner with demonstrable climate goals, scientifically validated.
• Understanding the CO₂ impact by product group is crucial for procurement and ESG accountability.
• Access to traceable, emissions-optimized alternatives, such as fasteners with circular coatings or materials with lower embedded carbon.

In this way, Archey contributes to a supply chain in which sustainability is no longer an afterthought, but an integral part of specifications, procurement, and execution.

Why a Difference Is Made in the Supply Chain

From a technical standpoint, fasteners are just one component of large projects. But from an economic standpoint, they are of critical importance: they affect service life, maintenance requirements, and material compatibility—and thus also the overall environmental impact.

Sustainable fastening technology is about more than just material selection: It involves advice on proper application, extending service life through coatings, removable connections, and minimizing failure costs. This is where Archey’s value lies as a knowledge partner—and not just as a supplier.

From Promise to Performance

For Archey, the SBTi is not just a label, but increasingly a framework. It requires the company to make structural decisions regarding energy, logistics, supplier selection, and product development. Working in collaboration with customers, Archey develops solutions that are not only technically sound but also contribute strategically to emissions reduction.

And that, in Archey's view, is exactly where the future of the industry lies.
