Together into a sustainable future
The smartest and most sustainable fiber innovations can only create value if all subsequent stages of processing commit to equally high levels of sustainability. For this reason, we are open to share expertise and to develop solutions together with all our partners along the value chain.
The requirement for sustainability means considerable challenges for companies in the textile and nonwovens industry at all stages of the value chain. The topics mainly relate to preserving natural resources, protecting the climate, offering fair working conditions and promoting the circular economy.
For many years now, we passionately commit to the approach of “value chain thinking”. We focus on the needs of consumers and work closely with our partners along the value chain to meet these needs while adhering to our sustainability principles.
