The raw materials industry forms the basis for almost all sectors of the economy. Responsible extraction, processing, and use of raw materials are crucial for a modern industrial society. TÜV NORD supports companies in meeting legal requirements, promoting sustainability, and strengthening trust.
Our services for the raw materials industry
The raw materials industry is at the heart of many global challenges, including rising demand for resources, geopolitical uncertainty, climate change and growing expectations for greater transparency throughout the supply chain. Raw materials are often criticized, particularly when their extraction or trade is associated with humanitarian or ecological consequences. Therefore, companies must ensure not only security of supply, but also demonstrate that their processes are sustainable and responsible.
Certification systems can help here by distinguishing between problematic and unproblematic sources of raw materials, providing consumers and business partners with a reliable basis for decision-making. At the same time, digitalization, new recycling processes and international standards are becoming increasingly important in strengthening trust in markets and supply chains. TÜV NORD CERT supports the raw materials industry in this transformation, helping them to navigate everything from sustainability to cybersecurity.
