A huge “Thank you” to the Förderkolleg and ProEco Rheinland for their visit to our company and the inspiring dialogue about sustainability, responsibility, and change. It was a short visit with a big impact.

As a company with over 135 years of history, we know that

Sustainability is not a goal for us, but a principle. This value has always characterised our thoughts and actions, long before the term became trendy.

The challenges of our time make this clear:

✔️ Traditional business models are being put to the test.

✔️ Ecological responsibility and economic success must go hand in hand.

✔️ Transformation needs strategies and an attitude.

We are redefining our role in this transformation:

Not just as an economically stable company but also as an active shaper of a sustainable, resilient, and responsible economy.

The dialogue with the development college has once again reinforced our conviction that we do not need a radical revolution. We do need the courage to take small, consistent steps. And it takes space for open dialogue.

This is because real transformation begins with a shared understanding. And it grows through people who live by values. We are part of it!

Here are a few comments from our visitors that encourage us to continue our work.

(The question was: What did you particularly like?)
