K+S is nominated for the German Sustainability Award 2024

07.09.2023

The German Sustainability Award recognizes companies that are considered pioneers of transformation in their industry. It is awarded by the Stiftung Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis e.V. in close cooperation with the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry DIHK.

Pioneer in the raw materials industry

The German Sustainability Award honors exemplary solutions for a sustainable economy.

The challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, biodiversity loss, and social division are intensifying. Under difficult conditions, best practice examples in all sectors show which solutions work and how practical transformation can be achieved.

The nomination in the raw materials industry sector encourages us to continue driving sustainable solutions forward and to develop them further.

We are pioneers in environmentally friendly and sustainable mining.

Dr. Burkhard Lohr, Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

In the nomination round, 100 expert juries selected the pioneers in each of the sectors based on researched profiles and active applications. The companies were then able to complete, update, and expand their profiles. Now the decision round is underway, in which the juries award the top places in each sector.

The publication of the winners is expected to take place on October 31, 2023, as part of a special supplement of the GSA in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and other measures.

Sustainability at K+S

K+S strives for sustainability and acknowledges its responsibility towards people, the environment, communities, and the economy in the regions in which it operates. The claim is to enrich life for generations and to be a pioneer for environmentally friendly and sustainable mining. This is the basis of the corporate strategy. The K+S sustainability program is an integral part of this.
