Sustainability - Sustainability Stage 16:6

Taking responsibility at Dräger

For us, our guiding principle of Technology for Life means taking responsibility. It gives greater meaning to the work we carry out and creates a sustainable foundation for our business model. We are concentrating our efforts on Environment & Society, Customers & Products and Company & Employees, with our goal to continue improving in these areas. Without social and environmental sustainability throughout all aspects of our supply chains, we are certain that no lasting economic progress will be achieved – and vice versa.
