"What personally drives me is the desire to make a positive contribution to a better world. As an entrepreneur, I have an enormous scope of action. Whether this is through shaping employee working conditions at our headquarters and in our production facilities, or the ecological production of our products, or our environmentally friendly management, the opportunities I have for affecting change are numerous. This realization, which came as a surprise at the time, strengthened my decision 10 years ago to succeed my father as CEO in 2009. Today, it continues to motivate me together with my team to show that sustainable development is not only more fun and "sensible", but that it is also successful. This award further encourages us.
