Ecological sustainability comprises eco-efficient products, eco-efficient productions, and environmental standards, that are worldwide valid. The rising costs of resources, especially fossil energy sources, raise customer awareness for cost-efficient products. Sulzer has a long tradition of providing innovative, sustainable, and cost-efficient products and is thus well positioned for the future challenges (see also examples on pp. 9–11). At Sulzer, a distinct focus is also set on the efficiency of the production. Over the last several years, a decoupling of the economic growth and the resource consumption has been achieved. Furthermore, Sulzer applies a comprehensive and consistent set of environmental targets that comply with the strictest standards and laws worldwide. We are continually setting more ambitious targets and expanding their scope. Over the last two years, these targets were extended to the use of chemicals.
