In Hidria's sustainability strategy, we have set very specific goals in the areas of environmental protection, occupational safety, health promotion, sustainable purchasing, energy efficiency and social responsibility."

"Successful modern companies strive to strategically align vision with sustainability goals to ensure that their current business success does not compromise the needs of future generations. We want to reward efforts, which is why we have determined the appropriate criteria for awarding the German Economy Award," wrote the Slovenian-German Chamber of Commerce. The companies, among which Hidria took the highest place, were evaluated according to the clarity of the vision of the green transition, its inclusion in the company's strategy, the definition of concrete and measurable goals and the expected positive impact on the environment and society.
