Sustainability, to me, in short, is making sure the world still exists in great shape for future generations. Economic, environmental and social responsibility should be common business practices in the world. From the environmental perspective, the deterioration is undeniable as we see the effects of climate change more drastically across the world. As individuals each one of us have to act responsibly too. In Evonik, we are looking to cut global carbon emissions by 15% for Scope 3 until 2025, which are expected to be gained mainly from Raw Materials. Procurement is not only supporting a huge variety of projects direct to the carbon footprint reduction but is continuously informing and creating the awareness among our suppliers. ........................................... Nachhaltigkeit für mich, kurz gesagt, sorgt dafür, dass die Welt für künftige Generationen mindestens in den heutigen Zustand erhalten wird. Wirtschaftliche, ökologische und soziale Verantwortung sollte weltweit gängige Geschäftspraktiken sein. Aus ökologischer Sicht ist die Verschlechterung unbestreitbar, da wir die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels weltweit drastischer sehen. Jeder von uns muss auch verantwortungsvoll handeln. Bei Evonik wollen wir die weltweiten Scope 3 CO2-Emissionen bis 2025 um 15% senken, die hauptsächlich aus Rohstoffen gewonnen werden. Procurement unterstützt nicht nur eine Vielzahl von Projekten zur Reduzierung des CO2-Fußabdrucks, sondern informiert und schafft kontinuierlich das Bewusstsein unserer Lieferanten. #Nachhaltigkeit #Sustainability #Verantwortung #GuestEditor #HumanChemistry PerformanceAndDrive #Klimawandel #ecology #Ökologie #responsibility #socialresponsibility #SozialeVerantwortung CarbonFootprintreduction #CO2Emissionenreduktion #economy #climatchange
