回收纸，不是想法
At Kärcher, we think globally – the role of the sustainability manager was created to ensure that the Kärcher sites across the world are equally committed to advocating sustainability. Three managers explain the significance of their work and which unique regional challenges they are coping with.
Mr Fang, which particular challenges are you facing in relation to sustainability in your country?
最近中国经济迅速增长。因此，环境和有限资源受到了很大的影响。然而，在过去几年中，中国整体越来越识别可持续性和环境保护的意义。公司和公众的绿色举措数量大大增加。在我看来，Kärcher中国在这些问题方面已经很好。
您是否有您正在采取的措施的例子，以提高Kärcher中国的可持续性？
In China, service providers and suppliers often still don't have a direct grip on sustainability and the environment. That is why we pay particular attention to training both new and long-standing suppliers in the issues of sustainability and the environment. If the conditions are right – i.e. the distance allows for it – we hold workshops on site and offer interested colleagues from other departments in-house training in our plant. In addition, we always check material management based on the global Kärcher purchasing guidelines before signing a contract. We also regularly check the work of the suppliers as the process goes on.
目前在kärcher中国的焦点在哪里？
对我们来说，预防尤为重要。我们已经注意了生产和供应链的可持续性和环境保护。就相关标准而言，我们遵循Kärcher集团的中央规格，因此经常在中国的其他公司领先。因此，当我们在办公室的数字化方面，我们已经提出了很长的路要走，例如，纸消耗大大降低了。此外，我们培训员工在资源保护等问题上。我个人对我的员工感到非常自豪，他们非常有动力促进这些问题。
Peintinger女士，奥地利可持续性有什么意义？
与其它国家相比,奥地利certainly already well-positioned. In the areas of rubbish separation, recycling and energy efficiency, it has already done a lot in the last few years. In terms of renewable energies, Austria has a great locational advantage when it comes to water force. The people here have a pronounced awareness of their environment, and I also see that with my colleagues. The issue of sustainability is of great personal importance to the employees. They want Kärcher to become even more sustainable and want to be an active part of this. And that is also very important, as there is naturally still much to do, for instance when it comes to reducing CO2。
作为可持续发展经理，您如何满足员工的利益？
我个人认为自己在所有领域拥有跨学科功能，作为与可持续性有关的所有问题的联系点。因此，作为第一步，我通过了与经理和员工的讨论，并从那里获得了想法和建议。反馈是非常积极的，因此，已形成有关同事的基于问题的焦点小组，我们目前正在开发目录的措施。通过常规通讯，我通知同事与公司内外的可持续发展问题有关的现状。
您认为哪些问题特别是主题？
我的第一个受试者之一正在处理和回收锂离子电池。由于我们在我们的范围内拥有越来越多的无线电设备，这是一个高度题目的问题。在与我们的危险品和废物经理密切协调，我们发现并委托了一家在我们的Kärcher中心提供收集点，并处理正确的处置，从准备循环中处理。这允许至少75％的原料从电池中提取以进行再循环。
Ms Leal, how does sustainability management look in Brazil, and at Kärcher in particular?
In Brazil, people are not yet so aware of environmental issues and the subject of sustainability. It can, therefore, be difficult to create and share visions that attract attention – both with colleagues and with customers and third parties. That can be seen already with issues like rubbish separation and recycling, which are simply not relevant in Brazil for the most part.
这就是为什么环境，可持续性和质量问题直接融入Kärcher的新员工培训。我们解释了工作场所在纸张消耗的减少等举措，使用玻璃代替塑料水等。
Due to the fact that we follow the specifications of the German parent company, we already have a higher standard than is stipulated in Brazil. Both in production and in our offices, we have, for instance, the possibility of sorting different types of rubbish such as paper, glass, plastics, organic materials, etc. Completely doing without paper is currently a challenge for production, as it is still in the process of digitalisation. But here too, we are forerunners compared with the rest of the country.
在您看来，有意识改变了这个问题？
Awareness of sustainability has grown in the last two years, and certainly not only in public. More and more companies see it as a separate pillar in their strategies. At Kärcher Brazil, we are always in communication with other large companies in the country about issues of sustainability and the environment, and also work on joint ideas.
你打算什么来转发可持续性？
我个人觉得自己也很重要，让家人，朋友和同事意识到这个问题。垃圾分离和回收尤为难以在巴西教授。例如，巴西的许多人认为，如果我们不仅仅在街上处理我们的垃圾，但我们在家里或在办公室里分开了自己的垃圾，我们从街上工作的垃圾分离器中的工作。这激发了Kärcher，为我们的员工计划一个环境周。背后的想法是开展与可持续性问题有关的培训，会议和活动。然后，我们可以为我们的服务提供商和供应商开发培训。
What acted as great inspiration for me was theKärcher可持续发展早餐，我有机会与来自不同部门和国家的人们聚集在一起。我发现同事之间的不同职位和观点的交流非常有帮助和鼓舞人心。
