K+S is committed to complying with the principles for sustainable extraction and processing of raw materials formulated by the EU („EU principles for sustainable raw materials”). These principles essentially concern social, ecological, and economic aspects as well as sustainable corporate governance.

The Sigmundshall tailings surprises with green grass, colorful flowers and a great variety of animals.

As one of the best practices, K+S presents product value impacting in the Yearbook celebrating 20 years of the UN Global Compact.

Biodiversity is declining and less and less natural habitats are available for animal and plant species. Recent studies have shown that over 30% of insect and bird populations in Europe have noticeably declined. With the so-called wild spaces, we as K+S want to counteract this trend by providing natural habitats for animal and plant species.

Bringing industry and nature in harmony: K+S takes nature into account when expanding tailings pile and creates a regional balance, which creates new habitats. 

The number of animal and plant species has fallen dramatically worldwide. In Germany alone, over 7,000 animal species are considered endangered or are acutely threatened with extinction. Nature conservation concerns everyone. Everyone can make a contribution to protecting flora and fauna.
