Our Contribution to the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)
We want to implement sustainable, innovative solutions throughout the value chain and achieve our ambitious climate change goals. To this end, we use our resources in a sensible and efficient manner and thereby protect our environment. Occupational health and safety are fundamental principles for us in this regard. This holistic approach allows us to continually improve our ecological and economic impact, as well as our contribution to society. Together with our employees, we develop creative spaces in which we train, learn, and develop ourselves as individuals. We actively demand and encourage diversity and equal treatment. Together, the digital transformation strategy, the innovation strategy, and the start-up strategy will help us to achieve our sustainability objectives. In organizational terms, these areas are all bundled within the Koehler Innovative Solutions business unit.
