Anchoring sustainability as a corporate value is the cornerstone for the transformation to a sustainable economy and society. Our mission "Customer-oriented solutions for a sustainable family business" reminds us every day to shape a future worth living for future generations and at the same time to meet the requirements of our customers as a solution provider. We have begun to intensify and bundle our efforts - to make products, processes and sites more sustainable - by establishing a comprehensive sustainability management system. According to our understanding of sustainability, we develop ambitions after our 3P concept in three strategic areas - Planet, Profit and People.
Our Environmental Sustainability measures are aimed at a resource-efficient and CO2-neutral future and thus at no negative environmental impact from our business processes - "NEA TO ZERO". We focus on climate protection, the protection of natural resources and the environment, as well as the advancement of a functioning Circular Economy.
