It is a mammoth task that could mutate into a Sisyphean task: In order to defuse the sword of Damocles of climate change in the long term, companies in the EU will have to present a complete environmental balance sheet for every product in the future. Against this background, Matchbird CEO Michael Kranz once again moderated the Materials Forum in Rothenburg ob der Tauber last weekend.

Wolfgang Vitzthum (Commerzbank, Frankfurt) showed that ecological and social criteria are becoming increasingly important for a company’s ability to obtain external financing. Afterwards, the practitioners took over the stage.
