Our responsibility
Sustainability starts at the top. As a family business, we have always thought across generational boundaries and pursued a sustainable corporate strategy. We take very seriously the multifaceted responsibility that arises from our role as a manufacturer in the chemical industry, the products themselves and our social position as a company and employer.
We do business in such a way that future generations can also satisfy their own needs. The focus here is on significantly reducing greenhouse gases. We are also on the way at product level. Sustainable production means that the economic processes behind it make sense and negative impacts on the environment are minimized. As a result, energy consumption should be reduced and natural resources should be conserved. This requires us to think in new ways and adopt innovative approaches.
