Sustainable environmental protection accompanied by corporate growth
We also place value on sustainable environmental protection when we acquire companies. An example
of this is Klöckner-Werke AG, where clearly defined responsibilities ensure its processes and products
are compatible with the environment. A number of relevant technically
and commercially significant investments and improvement measures
have been documented in various locations.
