As a family-run, medium-sized company with around 600 employees, responsible, sustainable action and social responsibility are of particular importance to us.
It is our profound belief that economic success and environmental and social responsibility must go hand in hand. In a time of global challenges, from economic uncertainties to climate change, it is our duty to take action and assume responsibility beyond our operational boundaries.
“For us, sustainability is not a static state, but an ongoing process. Requirements change, expectations rise – and we, too, develop continuously. Our aim remains clear: to take responsibility. To create transparency. To achieve effectiveness.”
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Through continuous innovation and a clear focus on sustainable business, we are setting standards in our industry.
At Forster, we are convinced that sustainability should influence all aspects of a company’s economic activity: environmental, economic and social – because only when these areas are in harmony can we make a real contribution to creating a future that is worth living in.
A decisive factor for sustainability in practice is transparency. It is only through openness and clear communication that we can analyse the status quo and measure progress. With the introduction of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), for example, we are creating the basis for a fact-based assessment of our environmental impact.
Transparency creates trust and forms the basis for sustainable decisions. For this reason, we regularly document our activities, goals and progress in our sustainability report. The report makes our sustainability performance transparent and shows how we take responsibility for the environment, society and the economy.
