Our challenge: employees fit for the future

“The only way we will achieve what lies ahead of us is as a team.”

Astrid Heuzonter (Greiner Bio-One) Director of Global HR

The expertise and skills of our employees are the key to a sustainable future. Achieving the ambitious targets set out in Blue Plan requires their involvement and participation. They are experts in their field and know best what can be improved and made more sustainable. It is often simple ideas and observations that lead to significant changes. We want to prepare our employees for these changes as well as possible and at an early stage. We will therefore invest more than ever in training and education, push for occupational safety and health protection and step up our efforts in diversity.
