Achieving true sustainability while protecting the climate and nature is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We discuss a lot about ways and instruments. In my view, one of the most important basic requirements is repeatedly neglected: without economy, there will be no ecology.
In many debates about sustainability, responsibility and the future, the economy takes centre stage. There is one aspect that I always feel is neglected: the important contribution that family businesses make to our society. Because they always think about tomorrow. This is why they are not only particularly important for the business landscape, but are also attractive employers.
I am very pleased to take over responsibility for our family-owned company as of January 1. My vision for ROWE is clear: We will make real progress possible and become even stronger in the process.
