"Through European Schoolnet's extensive network, Clarios has the opportunity to reach a large number of educators across Europe, amplifying our impact and ensuring that our efforts in supporting STEM education are far-reaching and effective," said Dr. Werner Benade, President EMEA at Clarios. "Our involvement in the Scientix project allows us to contribute to the development and dissemination of innovative teaching practices, further strengthening Clarios' contribution towards STEM education."

As part of this partnership, Clarios will promote and support Scientix' key activities aimed at empowering educators and inspiring students. This includes the next STEM Discovery Campaign in the spring of 2025, with Clarios sponsoring the Circular Choice Award to highlight the importance of sustainable practices and innovation in STEM fields.

"At Clarios, we are deeply committed to supporting STEM education and fostering a culture of innovation and sustainability," added Dr. Benade. "Our partnership with European Schoolnet aligns perfectly with our CSR goals and allows us to leverage our resources and expertise to make a meaningful impact." Clarios in-house expertise in automotive battery production perfectly complements the expertise of European Schoolnet. "We already have excellent resources from the Varta Training Academy and the Young Talent Team, and many committed members of staff who are eager to contribute their knowledge and skills to this initiative." Dr. Benade concluded.

The company's commitment to setting high sustainability standards is core to both its business philosophy and operations. At Clarios, end-of-life batteries are a critical resource, not a waste. The company operates one of the world's most successful examples of a circular economy – recycling 8,000 used batteries every hour of every day across its network. Across our global operations, 76% of the lead and 54% of the plastic used within our batteries is from recycled or remanufactured content. At Clarios locations, sustainability took center stage throughout November 2024, with a series of initiatives to reinforce the company's commitment. The company EMEA-wide activities for all employees encouraged people in different locations to take action and share their knowledge with others. The key message of the campaign emphasized that even small changes in everyday life can make a big difference.
