Who can offer pupils and parents a better, more authentic insight into an apprenticeship than our trainees? Right: no one! 😊💯   We organized the first Open Training Day at Becker Stahl-Service GmbH ­and the response more than exceeded our expectations. Our current trainees played a crucial key role in this. They confidently and enthusiastically answered all questions from all interested parties and came up with exciting activities to convey the Becker spirit. One idea, for example, was a spectacular VR crane simulation in which you could get an insight into the Becker world. This effort paid off: We received a large number of applications immediately after the event. And perhaps there will be some talented people among them who will present their profession so well in 2025.

Kloeckner colleagues from two continents came together for this year's Leadership Empowerment Program Nashville. Inofficial capital of country music but also place of a special exchange, where a harmonious, creative atmosphere also wasn't lacking. Recently employees from North America and Europe gathered for the Leadership Empowerment Program (LEMP), an internal leadership development program from Kloeckner. The focus of this meeting was on leading people through change and using agile methods. John Ganem (CEO Americas) was also part of the meeting and openly discussed a lot of change related questions. Thank you for a great event and everyone who was part of it!

What can I actually buy from Klöckner?   With over 190,000 products, it's quite a lot! Including flat products, long products, stainless steel, quality steel, aluminum, tubes and much more. By the way, we sell flat products and long products most often. Together they make up around 2 out of 3 sales.

Steel – The Sustainable Superhero Steel is 100 percent recyclable without any loss of quality. The steel industry in Germany alone uses around 20 million tons of steel and iron scrap every year to make new products. This saves resources and protects the environment and climate.

We believe in the power of sustainability Many of our sites have already switched to electricity from renewable sources. As a result, 96% of our global electricity consumption was already sourced from renewable sources in 2023. How we are doing that? For example by installing new photovoltaic systems at our sites around the globe from Austria to Brazil so our team can generate renewable energy by themselves. This is just one of many steps how Kloeckner is living sustainability.

Run. Klöckner. Run.   It's not a scene from the famous movie Forrest Gump, but a perfect description for yesterdays TARGOBANK Run.   A motivated team of numerous employees laced up their running shoes and took part in the annual 5-kilometer race in Duisburg.   The result? Lots of happy faces and some personal bests.   We are already looking forward to letting out our inner Forrest on the next run.

This is how we're leading the sustainability transformation of the steel industry The steel industry must become more sustainable. And we at Kloeckner, have a responsibility. That's why "kloeckner takes action 2040" was launched. The goal is to achieve net-zero direct and indirect emissions by 2040 - and we're amazingly well on our way. In 2023, we already achieved our mid-term goal (50% reduction by 2030) with a reduction of 52%. That means we were seven years faster ahead of schedule. We are proud to continue and leading the sustainability transformation in our industry.
