SÜDPACK received the special award for Excellent Strategy Implementation. This was in recognition of the outstanding results the company has achieved in the area of resource-efficient production. Tharcisse Carl, COO of SÜDPACK, Pascal Bader, Head of the LEAN Division, and Lisa-Marie Schmidberger, Project Manager CSR & Sustainability, accepted the award in Pfronten. They also gave the guests insights into SÜDPACK’s sustainable efficiency strategy in a best-practice presentation.
The Lean & Green Management Award has been awarded annually since 2012. It is an opportunity for “Companies with 150 or more employees to obtain a sustainability and lean management rating and to learn from the best.” The Technical University of Munich and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt provide scientific analyses for the award. An independ-ent jury of representatives from science/technology, business, and media ex-amines candidates in three-hour assessments, supported by management consultancy T&O (www.tundo.de). The analysis also draws on answers provid-ed by the participating enterprises to questions about their sustainability and lean management strategies.
“We’re absolutely delighted to have won the special award for Excellent Strat-egy Implementation this year. The prize confirms that we’re on the right track with our sustainable efficiency strategy. It boosts our motivation to achieve even more improvements along the entire value chain,” said Tharcisse Carl during the awards ceremony on October 19, which this year took place at DMG MORI in Pfronten.
The goal of SÜDPACK’s sustainable efficiency policy is the continuous optimiza-tion of both ecological and business efficiency. The strategy creates a frame-work for closed-loop systems, climate protection, and social responsibility. Tharcisse Carl emphasized that “Lean production, sustainable products and processes, and responsible use of our resources have always been priorities at SÜDPACK.”
Lean management is a key component of the concept. The successful applica-tion of lean methods and tools, such as policy deployment, shopfloor man-agement, PMO (project management office) as well as Six Sigma, means the company can define and effectively pursue goals in every category.
