Ferdinand Gross is participating in the "Climate-Friendly Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises" initiative. The goal is to combat climate change. Germany, like over 60 other countries, has committed to becoming climate-neutral by 2045 (Europe by 2050). The initiative supports medium-sized companies in operating in a more climate-friendly manner and reducing CO2 emissions. It demonstrates why this is meaningful, how costs can be reduced, and how to better meet customers' climate protection requirements. The offerings accompany and empower companies on their individual path towards a better carbon footprint. Together, we do better, which is why the VEA Climate Initiative emphasizes the lively exchange of best practices and successful measures among its members.

Our objective is to safeguard the competitiveness of German medium-sized businesses and the production location in Germany despite ambitious climate protection goals. The initiative advocates for political framework conditions that enable both climate-friendly and economically viable actions.
