Why ecology and economy don't have to be contradictory

Handelsblatt, one of Germany's largest business newspapers, introduces the Wilo Group as a climate protection company in its article series "Climate Pioneers."

In an interview with Handelsblatt, Oliver Hermes, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of the Wilo Group, discusses current topics such as sustainability in the value chain and linking goal agreements to the achievement of sustainability targets for management. He also provides insights into the Wilo hydrogen strategy: "Wilo pumps can make an essential contribution to building an entire value chain through the use of renewable energy sources for the production of green hydrogen, in upstream and downstream electrolysis processes, as well as in the distribution through hydrogen terminals and the use of green and blue hydrogen," says Oliver Hermes.

In this article series, Handelsblatt presents renowned companies from all over Germany that have been at the forefront of sustainability and climate protection for years, even before the topic gained its current significance.
