IT´S OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Environmental protection and sustainability are of particular importance to us. Therefore, our product Portfolio comprises ECO-GEHR® semi-finished products which are based on renewable raw materials and have a positive carbon footprint. By the way, we have changed over to a 100 % green electricity supply for the production in our main production plant.
We also take social responsibility very seriously. Our social responsibility activities include the support of institutions of higher education and of young academic talents. Sponsoring regional projects is of great importance to us. For us, global presence and local commitment are not mutually exclusive.
