Together with other industry representatives, universities and technology providers, we are consistently pursuing our path of green transformation.
We are delighted to have been awarded EcoVadis Platinum for our comprehensive sustainability management, which has been an integral part of our corporate culture for many decades, and it also shows our business partners, suppliers and customers that we are on the right path towards sustainability.
Comprehensive ethics and compliance training for our own employees, the integration of social and ecological issues into the company's purchasing guidelines and support for national and international sustainability networks and initiatives are some of the successful measures that led to the leap from silver to platinum in the previous year. Of course, it also spurs us on to continue pursuing our sustainability initiatives in a goal-oriented and ambitious manner and to align our actions with the well-being of our planet.
Only by constantly monitoring and evaluating our sustainability activities can we continuously gain important insights and opportunities for comparison. This is the basis on which we initiate new projects and changes in all areas of the company.
