We are all part of the same limited living space and live on the same resources. 

That is why we are aware of our responsibility for sustainable actions. 

For this reason, we continuously optimize our products and processes with regard to environmental compatibility and research new solutions together with our suppliers and partners. For example, we can now offer fully compostable packaging, products made from recycled materials or FSC®-certified raw materials as well as mineral oil-free printing.

Our high manufacturing standards continue in the areas of environmental compatibility and social responsibility. We also offer production in factories certified to SA 8000 (social standards), ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management).
