Sustainability

“One Step Ahead”: The Audio Version

In “One Step Ahead,” the latest edition of our company magazine ESSENTIAL, we deal with sustainability and make it clear that the topic involves more than ecology. The magazine shows that sustainability preserves complex systems such as our natural world while safeguarding society and the economy. We are offering select ESSENTIAL articles in the audio version. Listen in as we describe why sustainability has a lot to do with entrepreneurship. We also highlight the requirements that the environment has in store for us as sealing experts. You will be interested in hearing how major cities are arming themselves for extreme weather events and how the band Coldplay is reducing the impact of its world tour on the environment.
