CERTIFIED SUSTAINABILITY<br />
IMPROVED PACKAGING<br />
As a traditional, family-run company, we put sustainability<br />
<strong>at</strong> the heart of everything we do.<br />
Our management and sustainability teams work together to<br />
set ambitious but realistic targets within the framework of the<br />
European Green Deal. We then put various measures in place to<br />
meet these targets.<br />
Consistency and measurability are key aspects of this process.<br />
We’re now extending measures to all our sites where possible – and<br />
we’re launching some new projects <strong>at</strong> our headquarters in Lauben.<br />
