Sustainability remains relevant even in volatile times
The focus on sustainability and climate protection seems to be changing. Political programs and priorities are shifting, and in the face of numerous crises, the topic seems to be less present. In this article, I explain why sustainability and climate protection nevertheless remain of central importance – and why RENOLIT continues to pursue this path consistently.

The future of industry: a turning point for innovation and sustainability
The future of the industry will not be characterized by stability, but by change and adaptation. In a world that is changing faster than ever before, companies are faced with the challenge of not only focusing on growth and market share, but also having the courage to break new ground. Innovation and future viability will be the driving forces that determine which companies survive in the long term - and which do not. From next year, I will be taking on responsibility as the new CEO of RENOLIT. These are my thoughts on the future of the industry and the future of RENOLIT.

Today's world demands efficiency and competitiveness
The global economy is facing enormous challenges. Climate change, geopolitical crises, technological disruption and increasing competition are forcing companies to rethink their strategies. After years of steady growth, efficiency and competitiveness are becoming essential components for long-term success in this new reality. With this article, I would like to give an impulse to turn more attention to these fundamentally important success factors.

Background information on blood donation: Save lives, donate blood!
Every one of us may need a blood transfusion at some point. Whether in the event of an accident, a serious illness or an operation - blood reserves can make the difference between life and death. Yet far too few people still donate blood. On 14 June, it is once again World Blood Donor Day. I would like to take this as an opportunity to encourage you to donate blood!

RENOLIT signs Antwerp Declaration for a European Industry Deal
To tackle the climate crisis, the European Union presented the concept of a Green Deal a few years ago. The aim is to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050. We support this goal wholeheartedly. However, it is clear to us that this requires a strong industry - and this is currently under acute threat. That is why we have signed the Antwerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal.

Charter of the Economic Alliance for Democracy in Worms
We can all feel it: the democratic values that have enabled us to live in freedom, security and prosperity in recent decades are not only under pressure - they are under serious threat. We want to do something about this. That is why we have joined a new economic alliance for democracy here in Worms.

Leadership has to provide security
Managers have the task of leading their employees to success. This depends on many factors. One of the most important is security. I notice over and over again that young people at the start of their career in particular don't have the confidence to contribute their ideas and take risks. That's why I keep asking myself: what can I do as a manager to give my employees more security?
