We consider the conservation of the environment and the implementation of sustainability to be an obligation in
all our actions.

terms of a sustainable action.
We actively contribute to the development of guidelines and tools to make sustainable action a matter of fact in
our industry.
We actively participate in the development of the platform “Berlin Green Meetings" and regularly conduct
training and information events for our staff.
We played a leading role in the development of the “Max Spohr Prize ", a prize for diversity awarded to
companies such as Ford, Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Bahn.

recommendations for sustainable implementation of the measures:
