“The climate crisis is the main challenge we face in the 21st century. As a company, we are obliged to drastically reduce our CO2 emissions so that global warming does not escalate further.”

Climate protection: a question of survival

The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased dramatically since industrialization begun over 150 years ago. The consequence of this is a rise in temperatures on earth, which has numerous implications for people and for the environment. It is caused mainly by burning fossil raw materials such as coal, gas and crude oil. If humanity is unable to massively reduce its emissions, temperatures will rise, causing grave and irreversible damage to life on planet Earth. Climate protection has essentially become a question of survival for humanity and for our planet.
