Our responsibility as the companies of Schwarz Group
Industrial development and globalization of the economy offer mankind a variety of opportunities – and at the same time are accompanied by complex economic, environmental, and social challenges. These include a scarcity of resources, climate change, the loss of biodiversity, the improper disposal and recycling of waste, deforestation, and the overburdening of land and water as well as poverty, violations of human rights or limited access to education. Moreover, the world’s population continues to grow, which is further increasing our use of resources and intensifying competition for access to raw materials.

Acting globally responsible with diversity.
