Principles of sustainability

Sustainability is booming

Sustainability - this word is used in many contexts; but what does it stand for in the context of a global medium-sized company? Sustainability is not just lip service for forgom. The three dimensions of sustainable development: economics, ecology and social issues are what govern our actions.

Responsible action for a successful future

From an ecological point of view, we improve our own as well as the environmental performance of our customers and suppliers through innovative products and solutions. From an economic point of view, we are committed to long-term value creation, and from a social point of view, we support our employees and are committed to our social environment. Decisions are not always free from conflicting objectives - our aim is to make them transparent and to find the best possible solution. The responsible use of natural resources, purposeful investment in sustainable technologies that deliver profitable growth and give our customers a competitive advantage, and a business ethics that goes beyond the compliance of laws and regulations and puts integrity in the focus: This is how we manage sustainably and at the same time, create the basis for a successful future for our company.

Sustainability and corporate values

Our understanding of sustainability is closely linked to our corporate values: responsible, excellent, innovative. This becomes tangible against the background of our history. To be responsible in dealing with the employees, our social environment and the natural resources: Friedrich Wilhelm Musmann has already written this maxim into his family book.

To be excellent and to take leading positions in the markets of the future. Finally, to be innovative in the technological field and to contribute to the future viability of modern civilisation: That was always an aspiration and a challenge for us.
