Working Towards a Better World 

At Charter Dura-Bar, we value integrity and sustainability as we work to build a brighter future for the world around us. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards are key values to Charter Dura-Bar and vital in how we conduct business. Central to the company, employees, customers and communities which we serve and live, we recognize that ESG continues to remain prominent in the world we live. We are committed to remaining true to our ESG values and the expectations we set by focusing on the environment, our social responsibility and governance.  

We meet our responsibility through energy and natural resource conservation as well as minimizing waste generation and process emissions. We are also committed to research and development that results in additional overall environmental improvements.  

We remelt almost all metal byproducts produced from casting and processing our bar product. Much of our raw material is steel scrap. Water used to cool the bars in the casting process is recycled through our on-site lake. Other byproducts are recycled into friction products and landfill cover.
