CSRD - We need more reliability and less bureaucracy
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) aims to make companies' sustainability performance measurable and transparent. Although the objective is clear and sensible, the implementation poses major challenges. In particular, the unclear political framework and the high bureaucratic burden pose problems for companies. What is needed now? Reliable guidelines instead of constantly new uncertainties - and a reporting obligation that really contributes to sustainable transformation.

Our departure into the future
Big changes require bold decisions. At RENOLIT, we have made a conscious decision to take a significant step into the future. With one of the largest investments in our history, we are merging the Frankenthal and Worms sites in Worms, expanding our headquarters in a targeted manner and optimizing our processes. In doing so, we are focusing even more strongly on sustainability - and at the same time creating the best conditions for a strong, future-proof team. We call this Project “Aufbruch” (Awakening).

Reliability and future: Why long company affiliations make RENOLIT strong
No future without experience. Reliability and innovation are not contradictory - they belong together. That is precisely why I am proud that so many of our employees have shaped RENOLIT over decades and helped to shape change. To honor this commitment, we held an anniversary gala and honored those who celebrated a special company anniversary last year. An evening of appreciation and gratitude - and a sign that continuity is our foundation.

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!
