Sustainability – Environment

“The major threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”

Robert Swan

Every individual can and should make their contribution to a future worth living and to the protection of our planet. As a company, we have a duty to do this and to set a good example. The continuous improvement of our corporate environmental protection as well as sharing and demanding our values and principles for sustainable action with our employees, customers and partners are our contribution to responsible action towards the environment and future generations.
