In the procurement of energy, e.g. for our plants and machines, we focus on operational and cost efficiency. Our energy consumption is permanently assessed and controlled by key figures. Consumption values are regularly analyzed in order to identify improvement potentials at an early stage and to exploit them to the fullest. Every employee is committed to avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

This has immense effects, especially on restructuring and investments, which need to be controlled.
