GEA, a global technology company specializing in process engineering and sustainable solutions, has been honored with the MMK Award of Excellence in the "Sustainability" category for the groundbreaking introduction of the Add Better ecolabel. This recognition celebrates GEA's commitment to innovative solutions that significantly enhance resource efficiency compared to their predecessors.
The Munich Management Colloquium (MMK) bestowed this prestigious award for the first time, specifically recognizing exemplary projects that contribute to increased sustainability and showcase outstanding achievements in innovative management, artificial intelligence, and startups.
Stefan Klebert, CEO of GEA, and Dr. Nadine Sterley, Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), were presented with the MMK Award of Excellence. Klebert expressed gratitude, stating, "We are honored to be the first company to win an award in this category, which is of such great importance to us. On the one hand, it recognizes our achievements to date. And on the other, it spurs us on to continue developing innovative solutions for our customers that make a real impact when it comes to a more sustainable future."
GEA's success in securing the award is attributed to its consistent implementation approach around Add Better. This involves developing sustainable and disruptive innovations, creating new service solutions, extending system life cycles, and integrating sustainability criteria into the production development process. The resulting solutions, currently represented by 20 products carrying the TÜV-validated "Add Better" ecolabel, are significantly more resource-efficient than their predecessors.
The MMK Award of Excellence is part of the Munich Management Colloquium, Germany's largest business congress, where top managers and C-level executives convene annually to discuss current challenges in the business world. GEA's recognition underscores its role as an industry leader committed to driving sustainability and innovation in the German and European business landscape.
