The climate protection conference in Cancún at the end of 2010 as well as constant extensive reports in all media shows the unchanged importance of issues like climate change and renewable energies in society.
For the first time, all contracting states of the UN general climate convention made the commitment to limit global warming to two degrees. Due to the fact that the climate change especially affects the poor countries in the south, these should be assisted financially as well as through the transfer of environmental technology.
The same way politics establishes the foundations for reducing CO2 emissions, the economy is also compelled to contribute to environmental and climate protection. Herlitz takes this responsibility very serious, especially as manufacturer of office and school stationary supplies, and opts for sustainability in the name of the brand. Besides high-quality products, Herlitz offers a wider range of items to help consumers contribute to the protection of our environment.
Here we will provide information about the further development of already initiated projects and to what extent Herlitz managed to implement additional measures of environmental and climate protection in 2010 and how the company takes its social responsibility very seriously.
