The world of energy is currently facing its potentially greatest challenge since the invention of electricity. This is being fuelled by three fundamental development trends. Firstly, demand for energy is continuing to increase. The IEA estimates that there will be about a 50 percent increase in demand for primary energy worldwide by 2030. This will require massive investments in energy generation. Secondly, climate change and the real threats it involves demand unrelenting action in support of global climate protection. Thirdly, the fact that fossil resources are not unlimited means that energy has to be treated even more responsibly. more[...]
Our modern lifestyles offer a wealth of exciting possibilities, but also go hand in hand with high energy consumption. Because of the carbon footprint that our energy consumption leaves behind, there is no longer any reason to doubt that our lifestyles affect the climate. Each and every one of us, including DONG Energy, is responsible for minimizing our energy consumption and maximizing our consideration for the environment. As an energy company, we have a special responsibility for producing energy in as environmentally friendly a manner as possible. more[...]

Deutsche Post DHL became a signatory to the UN Global Compact in June 2006. At that time, we sought to align our internal environmental commitment and approach with key external international standards. Accepting our environmental responsibility continues to be a challenge and opportunity for us as we seek ways to adapt our business processes and culture to addressing the environmental challenges we face today. Our environmental strategy has three pillars: tackling climate change, improving our overall environmental performance, and minimizing our use of natural resources. more[...]
In China, there are over 32,000 chemical enterprises and many more if we consider the entire supply chain. Over 90% of the related companies are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which contribute strongly to the overall economic activities of the country but often find it hard to mobilise enough resources to effectively practise sustainable development. Thus, BASF in 2006 initiated a program called “1+3”, which mobilises and supports its partners and suppliers in China to improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR). more[...]

Bad news from the world of climate research arrives on our doorsteps nearly every day, and not one day goes by without our using a back door to redress our personal balance of thought on the world in which our children will live one day: Perhaps it is just a temporary glitch in the climate—something natural, that will right itself in the end. Even Hans Joachim Schellnhuber from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research consoles himself with the hope that the scientific community may have made a collective error on this issue. He expressed his thoughts on the percentage probability of his hopes becoming true in the following statement on 26th March 2009. "Well, the chance that the whole scientific world has actually made a mistake here probably lies below one percent." more[...]
Until very recently, the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region had not indicated any serious interests in the use of renewable energies, as these technologies were considered insufficient, irrelevant, and expensive. Countries with oil or gas became rich by exploiting their fossil fuel reserves, while the other countries claimed to be too poor to be able to afford wind or solar power. This picture changed in 2008 when the price of a barrel of oil climbed to $140. more[...]
