Clarios Partners with Scientix STEM Alliance to Foster Sustainability and Innovation in Education
In an effort to bolster science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in Europe, Clarios has made a significant partnership with the Scientix STEM Alliance, which is brokered by European Schoolnet. This collaboration aims to inspire future STEM professionals and highlight the importance of sustainability in education.
Clarios is recognized globally as a leader in advanced low-voltage battery solutions and is also the home of VARTA Automotive. This new alliance will enhance Clarios' commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) across the EMEA region by connecting industry expertise with educators and stakeholders. The ultimate goal is to foster a strong link between industrial practices and educational curriculum, thereby facilitating better teaching methods for STEM subjects in schools throughout Europe.
Dr. Werner Benade, President of EMEA at Clarios, emphasizes how this partnership provides an opportunity to reach a vast network of educators. "Through the extensive network of European Schoolnet, Clarios has the chance to amplify our efforts in supporting STEM education throughout Europe," he stated. This collaboration is timely as it aligns with Clarios’ strong environmental and sustainability commitments.
As part of this alliance, Clarios will actively participate in developing innovative teaching methodologies that incorporate sustainability into the STEM education framework. In addition, the initiative will provide educators with professional development opportunities that are enriched with industry-specific resources and examples. This is where Clarios plans to showcase career profiles within the automotive battery industry, helping students understand the exciting opportunities available in this vital sector.
Upcoming initiatives will also include sponsorship of key activities within the Scientix program, such as the STEM Discovery Campaign launching in Spring 2025. Notably, Clarios will sponsor the Circular Choice Award, aimed at highlighting sustainable practices and innovations in STEM fields.
"At Clarios, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of innovation and sustainability within STEM education, which aligns seamlessly with our CSR goals," said Dr. Benade. "This partnership allows us to leverage our resources and expertise to create a meaningful impact in the educational landscape."
Clarios’ experience in battery manufacturing aligns perfectly with educational initiatives, specifically through environmentally sustainable processes. The company champions a circular economy approach, recycling 8,000 used batteries every hour globally. This philosophy of sustainability is embedded within the company’s core operations, ensuring that batteries at the end of their life cycle are viewed as resources rather than waste.
With 76% of the lead and 54% of the plastic used in their batteries sourced from recycled or remanufactured content, Clarios sets high standards for sustainability. The commitment to sustainability was also mirrored in recent initiatives throughout November 2024, where employees were encouraged to participate in programs emphasizing the significance of small changes to foster a larger impact.
Clarios is at the forefront of low-voltage battery technology for mobility, powering almost every type of vehicle on the road today. With a workforce of around 18,000 spread across more than 100 countries, Clarios provides invaluable support to aftermarket partners and OEMs. Their commitment to sustainability and recycling ensures that all products sold are recyclably designed, paving the way for a cleaner future.
This partnership with Scientix is a profound step towards integrated sustainability education, demonstrating Clarios' dedication to social responsibility and the future of STEM fields in Europe.
