We must scale up renewable energies at speed now. To realize our bold plans, we need players who are passionate about making a difference and contributing to a sustainable world.

As a family-owned company, we believe in the power of sustainable business or, in other words, future-proofing. We are not perfect, not everything is an instant success, but we are 110 percent committed.

Sustainability is an integral part of our DNA since we brought our first buses on the road. We are driven by our purpose more than ever to drive sustainable and affordable travel for everyone to experience the world.

It’s not about compensation, it’s not about carbon neutrality claims – it is first and foremost about the actual reduction of emissions.

We are working hard to reduce our waste and our emissions, and are continually seeking to implement measures that meaningfully cut our environmental footprint.

At Heraeus, we are immensely proud of the positive impact our technologies and solutions have on the environment. From recycling of critical raw materials to pioneering innovations in green hydrogen or photovoltaics, we are committed to leaving a lasting, positive imprint on our planet.

Food waste is the single largest driver of our climate catastrophe, and we know that streamlining the global food system will be the single largest contributor towards a sustainable planet.

We have a responsibility to help shape road freight’s future for the better. This responsibility is also an exciting opportunity for the transport sector as a whole to push for low-carbon innovation in the industry.

I’m convinced that the need for climate-neutral solutions will grow over the next ten years. It has to grow.

Sustainability is a key driver behind everything we do at the Conrad Group. Wherever possible, we try to positively impact the upstream production and our value chains.

Our vision of a liveable future is based on value creation that aligns with the protection of the environment and serves the well-being of all.

We aim to hand over our family business to the next generation of Fieges in a climate-neutral manner. We are firmly determined to consistently pursue this path and reach our goal – and there is simply no alternative to it.

The necessity for change is evident. Politics, the economy, and each and every one of us can contribute. Together, we can achieve the global climate goals. The best time to take action is always: now.
