“After tougher competition than ever, this award is a truly special recognition”, says Markus Hermann, Sustainability Manager at Klüber Lubrication. “In an environment of rising demands and increasing competition, Klüber Lubrication has not only maintained its leading position but has further improved. I am very happy about the strong commitment to sustainability of our top management and of our teams worldwide. And it is great to regularly receive the feedback that such a continued high-level performance makes the difference for many of our customers, staff members but also application candidates - all over the world.”

Significant advancements were also achieved in the Ethics and Environment categories. With an overall score of 79 out of 100, Klüber Lubrication is now among the top 3% of all rated companies worldwide.
