GEA won over the jury with its consistent implementation approach around Add Better. This includes measures to develop sustainable and disruptive innovations, create new service solutions, extend system life cycles, and integrate sustainability criteria into the production development process in a standardized way. The resulting solutions are significantly more resource-efficient than their predecessors and bear the TÜV-validated “Add Better” ecolabel. Twenty products currently carry the Add Better label.

The annual Munich Management Colloquium is Germany’s largest business congress. For over 30 years now, top managers and C-level executives have been meeting in the Audimax of the Technical University of Munich to discuss the current challenges in the world of business. The focus of the MMK Award of Excellence is on best-practice solutions. These are intended to act as a nucleus for innovation in German and European industry.
