For us, commitment to protecting the climate and resources lies at the heart of our corporate philosophy. Because the climate problem is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. In this context, we consider effective climate and resource protection not to be just our duty as a business but also as an opportunity for innovation. We commit through research and development to implementing new technologies that are not only ecologically but also entrepreneurially sustainable. We pursue a comprehensive strategy overall so as to make our business processes harmonise with the principles of climate and resource protection. The goal is a sustainable corporate development that includes not only economic success, but also environmental protection and social responsibility. For this reason, we are also members of important international initiatives: In December 2021, we joined the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). This organisation examines and validates climate goals industry-wide in line with the UN Paris Agreement’s climate goals. Since the end of 2022, we have been a member of the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI). SAI is an international collaborative network aimed at driving forward the sustainable transformation of the agricultural sector along all the stages in the value chain.
