This includes supporting the outpatient hospice service, sponsorships for endangered animal species, the colonisation of bees and many other projects. We support organisations such as HateAid, Lichtblick Seniorenhilfe, Malteser Hospizdienst and aid transports for Caritas Ukraine.

Sustainability


We live by the principles of the circular economy and sustainability. We are setting standards in the area of steel recycling in particular, and we want to realise further potential in other areas of recycling. Our aim is to save energy, optimise its use and replace fossil energy sources with more climate-friendly alternatives.

We are also involved in regional and national initiatives to help tackle the climate crisis. This includes reforestation projects, the promotion of biodiversity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. We organise our production processes in a climate-friendly way and rely on innovative technologies to conserve resources.
