Although it is about the integrated approach, the concrete examples are the most appealing when we tell what we all do in the context of sustainable and responsible entrepreneurship. For example, we produce from secondary aluminum (the production of secondary aluminum costs 20 times less energy than the production of primary aluminum from bauxite), we have well-insulated heating ovens at all our casting cells, there are the frequency-controlled compressors, we work with the most modern and most economical machines and we use LED and our follow-me printing facilities at our offices. In addition to these current affairs, there are also projects to use solar collectors and to regenerate residual heat from our production facilities. These are just a few examples of everything we do to minimize our ecological footprint.
A future-proof company looks beyond just its own future …
