1. More and more studies and surveys confirm that companies that act sustainably can increase their efficiency, reduce their costs and avoid waste.
2. The Otto Group's  "Conscious Living" (opens in a new tab) trend study (2020) on ethical consumption comes to the conclusion that more and more Germans value sustainably and ethically manufactured products and are willing to pay more for them. For companies with sustainable production chains, this is a great opportunity to strengthen their image, attract customers and increase their competitive advantage.
3. By rethinking and redesigning production chains at an early stage, sustainable companies can react proactively to possible future restrictions and crises. In this way, they can take precautions and counteract predicaments. In this way, they are better protected in times of crisis than competitors without sustainable production processes. Overall, organizations and businesses with sustainable production not only make a significant contribution to climate and environmental protection. They can also consolidate their long-term business profitability and improve their financial success.

Sustainable production also involves creating transparency, for example through labels or certificates and the provision of consumer information. It is important for people to see that companies are not greenwashing their production chains.
