⚡ The company runs its entire production with wind power and relies on renewable energy sources.
🌍 The sustainable production chain is transparent and openly communicated both internally and externally.
🔥 The Ukraine crisis led to the sudden disappearance of the electricity supplier and sharply rising electricity prices.
📈 The drastic increases in electricity prices had an immediate impact on product costs and pricing calculations.
