Climate change is a complex environmental issue and one of the greatest challenges of our time. We therefore fully acknowledge the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a global level. The manufacture of our consumer products, industrial brands and technologies is not particularly energy or greenhouse gas intensive. Energy consumption and the associated carbon dioxide emissions during the use of our products are usually more significant. We therefore focus on creating energy efficient products and technologies while optimizing our own production processes. By doing so, we contribute to the more efficient utilization of energy resources worldwide and hence to climate protection.
