Sustainable and responsible action

We assume responsibility – for our employees, customers, public authorities, society, our neighborhood and the environment. Our understanding of sustainability is based on the classic overall concept of the United Nations: It is important to meet the requirements of the present generation without compromising the opportunities of future generations to fulfill their own requirements.

Sustainability is firmly embedded in the Group strategy. We consider sustainability to be a key driver of innovation and a continuous process for improving the economic, ecological and social performance of the company. Sustainable and responsible business operations are an integral part of our corporate culture and everyday practice. By having our climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), we reaffirm our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain, thereby making a decisive contribution to global climate protection.
