    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.

    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.

    Balancing family and career is a question of future viability

    In recent years, family friendliness has become an increasingly important topic in business and politics. And rightly so - because family friendliness is becoming an essential factor for the future viability of companies and the entire business location.

    Sustainability and climate protection need more target orientation

    Climate protection and sustainability have been among the most important objectives of politics and business for several years. Nevertheless, the overall successes are still modest. One reason for this is the lack of target orientation. For more climate protection, clear priorities must be set and pursued.
