Family-run HARTING Technology Group has earned its place as the connectivity gold
standard, fostering true innovation and exceptional solutions. With sustainability woven into
its DNA, the company advances green innovation through initiatives, such as its GreenLine
label for CO₂-transparent products.
To reach its bold target of carbon neutrality by 2030, HARTING needed to calculate
emissions across 13,000 materials, integrate packaging data from 15,000 suppliers, and
increase recycled content. It must also stay ahead of tightening regulations, such as Spain’s
plastic packaging tax, and broader mandates sweeping Europe. By endeavoring to be a
sustainability forerunner, HARTING hopes to inspire its customers to take action toward a
greener future.
