Chamber of Auditors awards the "German Environmental Report Award 2001" in Berlin
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) received first prize in the "Best Sustainability Reporting" category awarded by the Chamber of Auditors in Berlin as part of the "German Environmental Reporting Award" 2001 (DURA). The award is intended to reflect the growing significance of sustainability reporting. Reviewing Heidelberg's report, the panel of experts praised the way in which it included environmentally focused, economic and social aspects in equal measure, and thus succeeded in making the issue of sustainability a clearly-understood, key part of Heidelberg's corporate policy.
"We regard the coherent combination of economic, ecological and social aspects - achieved for example through increased efficiency, the transfer of expertise and the development of the best possible products for the world's growing needs - as a major challenge for the future", said Dr. Klaus Spiegel, Member of the Management Board at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.
As a national winner, Heidelberg will also be taking part in the European competition for the European Environmental Reporting Awards (EERA), supported by the European Commission's Directorate-General of the Environment. Further information on the DURA award can be found at
