When taking decisions, we are very much aware of the sustainability implications and this awareness of sustainability is shared by all our employees.

“Being nominated for the Resource Efficiency award is an invaluable confirmation of our efforts and our products. At the same time, this nomination will inspire us to live up to the high expectations associated with such an accolade also in the future.”
