Salzgitter AG honored as “Best Newcomer Germany 2016” by CDP

On October 25, 2016, Salzgitter AG was named “Best Newcomer Germany 2016” by CDP in Munich and has therefore been given a very prestigious rating all in one go.

CDP is an international non-profit organization. It records and rates the greenhouse gas emissions voluntarily reported by companies and organizations, as well the handling and strategies associated with the opportunities and risks that arise from climate change. On behalf of investors, CDP collates extensive data once a year and has meanwhile built up the world’s most significant collection of data and analyses on the topic.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heinz Jörg Fuhrmann, Chief Executive Officer of Salzgitter AG, commented on the distinction as follows: “Salzgitter AG is delighted by the good rating it has received from CDP. Resource and energy efficiency form an integral component of our environmental protection concept and has always been given a high priority within the Group. We regard it as a permanent management task and as part of our corporate strategy. Moreover, ‘sustainability’ is anchored as one of the six core values of Salzgitter AG’s ‘YOUNITED’ mission statement. We therefore view this distinction as further confirmation that we operate at a high and acclaimed level in this area.”
