It comes from how we think and act. And ultimately, from how consistent we are about it. As a company, it is our responsibility to invest in progress and in the future. But that also applies to our customers; everything we develop and produce also needs their commitment when put into practice. Sustainability is an essential part of our business activities. Our customers expect it of us, and we are convinced that sustainable companies are a step ahead of the rest and are more successful in the long term. Our economic, social, and environmental targets are being implemented along the entire value chain. We care about protecting the environment and use resources sparingly. As an industry-leading employer we continue to invest in sustainable technologies. We will act in a responsible and credible way along the entire value chain. This has resulted in a valuable progress being made in recent years in terms of environmental awareness at our plants, in our processes and in our machines.
