EUCHNER Joins the Blue Competence Sustainability Alliance

Sustainability and climate protection are among the greatest challenges of our time. We take responsibility for the future – both in our solutions and our actions – which is why we joined the Blue Competence sustainability alliance.

Blue Competence is an initiative launched by the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (the VDMA) to promote sustainability in mechanical and plant engineering and to raise the profile of sustainable solutions in the industry. Our membership of the initiative commits us to uphold the 12 sustainability guidelines of the mechanical and plant engineering industry (www.bluecompetence.net/about).

1 “Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” (Brundtland Report, 1987).

2 “Sustainable development means taking environmental considerations into account on an equal footing with social and economic considerations. So doing business in a sustainable way means leaving an intact ecological and economic fabric for our children and grandchildren.” (German Council for Sustainable Development, 2001).
