May 3, 2023Werner & Mertz Professional verzet zich tegen greenwashing
Sinds klimaatbescherming een kwestie van bedrijfsimago is geworden, levert productmarketing verleidelijke maar nietszeggende klimaatclaims op, zoals ‘net zero’, ‘klimaatneutraal’ en ‘CO2-negatief’. Deze trend breidt zich uit naar B2B-segmenten en dus ook naar professionele schoonmaak van gebouwen. Ook hier is klimaatbescherming al lang een doorslaggevend verkoopargument. Om aan de verwachtingen van klanten te voldoen, gebruiken bedrijven vaak middelen waarvan het voordeel voor het klimaat meer dan twijfelachtig is.

September 19, 2020Is this the end of high-quality plastic recycling?
The Green Dot, Werner & Mertz and the German Association for the Waste, Water and Raw Materials Industries demand financial incentives and commitment from government.

June 2, 2020After the corona crisis will things be as they were before?
Appeal from German Environmental Award winner Reinhard Schneider for a sustainable transformation instead of retro liberalism in post-corona era: As justifiable measures were taken to contain the pandemic, many people had to cope with an immediate restriction of their civil liberties.
