Competitiveness of a technology supplier
Industry needs more efficient and clean production
methods >> new business opportunities
Technology supplier must be proactive
Developing better technologies brings competitive
advantage today and in the future
It is not enough to develop clean technologies, but both
economical and ecological criteria must be fulfilled
Only those technology companies survive in the long
run who deliver sustainable technologies

Clean technologies as a booster for
competitiveness and economic growth
Corporate responsibility
is becoming more and more
important in heavy industries
Too strict environmental
regulations are in nobody’s
interests and may result in Copper smelter, refinery, precious metals
and sulfuric acid plant in Yanggu, China
total unprofitableness
Profitability and environmentally sound technologies
can and must go hand in hand
Technology development is the key

Adding environment to the
competitiveness equation does
not hinder equitable growth,
on the contrary, it can be
a booster for competitiveness
and economic growth.
Thank you!
