For more than 20 years, we have supported companies with our expertise and best reported their best. Today, families have “sprung up” and sustainability has become an overarching and central value of our community, and we are committed and we work for it with conviction,” says KSW President Herbert Hove.

“To the extent that investors and other stakeholders increasingly base their decisions on sustainability reports and trust the information contained in them, the need to emphasize these sustainability reports is also growing equally.
