"The businesses involved in the 50 Sustainability & Climate Leaders campaign are masters at putting plans into action, forming meaningful collaborations and finding a place for sustainability at the heart of their companies,” said Paolo Emilio Zanini, CEO TBD Media Group.

For plastics machinery manufacturer Engel, sustainability is a fundamental part of the coporatie philosophy. The company has worked continuously to further improve its processes, aiming for a more economic resource use and improved recycling rates. It has moreover focussed on reducing the carbon footprint of its products and advancing digitalisation, which opens up great opportunities for establishing a circular economy.

“Closing material cycles is one of the plastics industry's priority tasks. We accept this challenge and are developing solutions that enable processed plastic waste to be used far more widely", said Stefan Engleder, CEO of the ENGEL Group, in the video that Bloomberg produced for the Climate Leaders presentation.

"From packaging and automobiles to medical products, plastics have become an integral part of our modern life. They help us save energy and make significant contributions to hygiene and safety. As part of the plastics industry, we have a responsibility to ensure that people in all regions of the world are using plastic products responsibly.

Green is more than the colour of our machines. Our work is characterised by the goal of making the future even more attractive for generations to come.”
