Gold goes to Engineering Green Value

November 2011 Scoring Points with Sustainability: ContiTech triumphed with their unique brochure in the category image publications at the Econ Award finals. Examples of the finest pages will be published along with jury comments in the Corporate Communication Yearbook.

Hanover-based ContiTech AG has won the prestigious 2011 Econ Award in gold with their brochure 'Engineering Green Value'. The prize, which has been presented by Econ-Verlag and Handelsblatt since 2007, is awarded in recognition of the best German-language corporate communications. "A convincing visualization and the courage to speak frankly about critical issues is, in this case, just as important as content with substance as well as a coherent corporate image and communications strategy", says Klaus Rainer Kirchhoff, head of the jury.

“We are delighted with the highly positive feedback the jury has given us regarding our work and in particular the response from customers, employees and our company’s market partners,” said Anja Graf, Vice President of Communications at ContiTech AG. "Sustainability is firmly anchored as a key reputation factor in our corporate and communications strategy. In view of this, ‘Engineering Green Value’ has become one of ContiTech’s basic principles.” It stands for the long-term commitment and special technological expertise in the development, production and application of products. ContiTech is committed to protecting the environment and the global climate, and to maintaining sustainable operations for the good of present and future generations.

In designing the brochure, ContiTech AG purposely moved away from the classic sustainability report. Instead, 'Engineering Green Value' conveys the company’s activities in the field of sustainability in a vivid and entertaining manner. The brochure is available free of charge in German and English and can be ordered from: mailservice@contitech.de
