I coordinate SCHOTT's Zero Carbon program. Just as glass is both strong and fragile, so is our planet, and by turning SCHOTT into a climate-neutral organization, we actively support the prevention of climate change for the generations to come. For me, it's more than a job, it's a mission, and I'm delighted to contribute.

I have been a SCHOTT employee for more than 20 years, and now work in the Finance IT team. I regard my colleagues as a family – in fact, my brother also works here. It’s very common for members of the same family to work at SCHOTT. If you will, that’s also an expression of sustainability. What I love about glass? Even after two decades of working at SCHOTT, I’m still fascinated by this material. I’ll never forget seeing the inside of a melting tank that had been drained. You could still feel the heat. It was like entering another planet.

As someone who supports the global pharmaceutical packaging side of the business, I’m glad to play a part in overcoming the Covid-19 pandemic. Three out of four vaccine manufacturers rely on our glass vials to safely store and transport their COVID-19 vaccine. This is quite a responsibility – and living up to it is part of our DNA.
