Managing sustainability strategically
Sustainability is becoming a key success factor for companies. However, the increasing complexity of reporting poses a major challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular. To provide targeted support in this area, the German Society for Quality (DGQ) and the SKZ Plastics Center are hosting a joint online conference on 23 September 2025. The focus is on the implementation of sustainability management and reporting - practical, understandable and practicable.
Next Level Sustainability (Created by DGQ - German Society for Quality)
Dealing efficiently with new requirements
If the announced “Omnibus Regulation” is introduced, the reporting regulations will change in a number of areas. However, sustainability is much more than just a reporting issue - it offers strategic opportunities for long-term competitiveness.
"Many companies already have established structures and data that they can use for systematic sustainability management. This is exactly where we come in," explains Andreas Heinz from the DGQ. The online conference offers companies of all sizes practical ideas for establishing sustainability as an integral part of their management system.
Insight into successful practical examples
The conference program includes presentations by experts and company representatives - including Robert Adams (REHAU), Karsten Muuß and Isabelle Rumpenhorst. Experts from the DGQ and the SKZ will also provide insights into current regulatory and strategy-relevant developments and show ways of practical implementation.
