We are committed to protecting the environment and conserving resources not only within our own operations but also throughout the entire value chain of our products. The responsible use of raw materials, the continuous optimisation of processes, and the adoption of market-leading technologies ensure efficient resource utilisation and help improve our environmental footprint.

In addition to environmental and resource protection, we are particularly dedicated to reducing climate-damaging greenhouse gases. With our PASSION 2025 strategy, we set ourselves the goal of tracking our corporate greenhouse gas footprint and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions) caused by our business activities by 25% by 2025, compared to 2019, in our core and growth markets.

As a result of targeted measures to increase energy efficiency, expand renewable energy, and optimise logistics processes, direct and energy-related indirect GHG emissions in defined core and growth markets were reduced by 24.9% by 2025 compared to the base year 2019.

Within the regional context of our business activities, we also assume social responsibility, for example by supporting environmental, social, cultural, or sports-related organisations. At the same time, we aim to serve as a role model and motivate others to get involved.
