With the Annual Report 2021, we have published a report on our ESG activities for the first time. This not only provides information on current environmental indicators at our German production site in Hamm, but also on the positive impact of our innovative products – both on the environment and on the working conditions and health of people in underground mining.

Our goal is to incorporate ESG criteria even more strongly into our existing growth and acquisition strategy in the future and to implement a long-term sustainability strategy.
