保护 & 可持续性
"可持续性 and social responsibility are closely interrelated and are important subjects for us. Geberit has shown that economic success, acting in an environmentally friendly manner and social balance are not a contradiction in terms. On the contrary, we regard sustainability as an opportunity to go down new roads. The Geberit Group wishes to maintain its top position amongst its competitors in the field of sustainability and thus to continue to be a role model for the industry in future." ——阿尔伯特·米. Baehny, Chairman of the Board, in the 可持续性 Report
“缺水, which was classified as a top risk by the World Economic Forum (WEF), shows that water management is a key issue for sustainable development. The biggest environmental contribution by Geberit products still lies in the conservation of water." - Christian Buhl, Geberit CEO, in the 可持续性 Report
可持续性 has a long tradition at Geberit where it has been a central theme since the early nineties. It influences our strategic orientation and is regarded as a yardstick for thinking and acting in our re搜索 and development as well as in our production.
