With its decision to join the VDMA’s Blue Competence initiative, Koenig & Bauer has reaffirmed its commitments to sustainability and social responsibility which are anchored in its corporate philosophy and have characterised the company ever since it was founded more than 200 years ago.
At Drupa 2000, the Rapida 105 was the first sheetfed offset press worldwide to be awarded an ‘Emission tested’ environmental certificate by the Professional Association for Printing and Paper Processing (Berufsgenossenschaft Druck und Papierverarbeitung). As the voice of the mechanical and plant engineering industry, the VDMA has here formulated common standards for ecological product and production design, as well as responsible corporate management.
