Last year, we applied for the German Sustainability Award #DNP15 for the first time - after all, we have been working intensively for some time on reducing our Scope 3 CO2 emissions and on decoupling our business model from resource consumption. And with our all:change offer, we have shown that it is possible to implement repair or, in new German, "refurbishment" in an industrial process and offer customers who previously only bought new goods a low-cost alternative - and without any ifs and buts.

And we made it to the finals! We were nominated in the category of companies and took part in the German Sustainability Day in Düsseldorf. Two days of predominantly very interesting and inspiring presentations and discussion panels with top-class participants led to the award ceremony. And even though we didn't make it onto the winner's podium, we are delighted: Being among the top six companies in this prestigious award with a total of over 1,000 applicants and being able to enjoy a gala evening with great live artists and well-known laudators is award enough. We will definitely continue, and when we have implemented another good idea, we will definitely apply. Maybe it will work out then!

By the way, congratulations to the winner of "our" category Lavera!
