Mindful of the environment and surroundings

Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

Mindful of the environment and surroundings

We want to leave a healthy and fertile environment for future generations. That is why we are aware of the impact of our actions on the climate every day and strive for balance and equalisation. For us, corporate responsibility also consists of this.

Our 4 pillars of sustainability

Thinking ahead has been our mission for almost 150 years. We want to combine the best quality with a good balance for people, the environment and society. We are committed to acting not only in a value-creating manner in all areas of the company, but also in an appreciative manner. Our aspiration combines global action with the growing challenges of our time.

We make our contribution to an intact environment through the responsible use of resources and materials. Sophisticated concepts for optimising consumption, recycling, selecting raw materials and reusable packaging are our goal. Quality-certified company processes are just as much a part of sustainable management as cleverly controlled logistics flows and energy savings through intelligent on-site energy generation.
