Climate protection is an essential part of environmental protection and also part of our corporate strategy – and not just since the first consequences of climate change appeared and this topic began to be discussed worldwide. We regard climate protection as a component of our social responsibility. Our products and technologies bear witness to this, day in, day out. We invest in research and technologies for the reduction of CO₂ emissions. We also work on products and systems that reduce the emissions of other pollutant gases, for instance from air conditioning systems. By making ever greater use of renewable raw materials such as natural rubber and plant-based oils, we contribute to the conservation of natural resources.
