Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, but a central concern of our society. In times of climate change and environmental degradation, it is more important than ever to use our natural resources responsibly. Companies are faced with the challenge of reconciling ecological, economic and social aspects. They play a decisive role when it comes to developing sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. Consumers are also becoming more aware and are increasingly demanding that companies act sustainably.
In order to meet these requirements, the Thuringian state government has launched the Thuringia Sustainability Agreement together with the business community. This voluntary agreement aims to bring politics, administration and business together to jointly promote measures in the areas of climate and environmental protection, resource conservation and social sustainability. The agreement provides a platform for the exchange and networking of sustainable companies in Thuringia and demonstrates that sustainable development can only be achieved through partnership-based action.
We at Beltz Grafische Betriebe would like to make a valuable contribution to the sustainable development of the region and are therefore actively involved in the Thuringia Sustainability Agreement. Find out more about the background to the project and the role our company plays in it here.
