Sustainable management: VAHLE hosts IHK business discussion
More than 50 guests from politics and business came to the premises of the Kamen-based system provider for mobile industrial applications, including Kamen's mayor Elke Kappen, the managing director of the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Stefan Schreiber, and IHK regional advisor Simone Bergmann.
The business discussion of the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) took place yesterday at Paul Vahle GmbH & Co KG in Kamen. The central topic of the event was sustainable management in view of the current energy crisis. There were also insights into the current economic situation of the city of Kamen and an outlook on expected future developments. More than 50 guests from politics and business came to the premises of the Kamen-based system provider for mobile industrial applications, including Kamen's mayor Elke Kappen, the managing director of the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Stefan Schreiber, and IHK regional advisor Simone Bergmann.
"We are delighted that we were able to host this year's IHK business talk. Not least because it was able to take place in person again this year. And once again it has been shown that the event setting is ideal for discussing common interests and Kamen as a business location with representatives of the local economy," says Achim Dries, Managing Director of Paul Vahle GmbH & Co KG and IHK plenary member. Disrupted supply chains and the energy crisis have recently placed a heavy burden on both small and large companies. The main topic of the IHK business discussion was sustainable management - not only in relation to the company's own resource-conserving actions, but also with regard to its dealings with customers, suppliers and employees.
At 4 p.m., Achim Dries opened the event with a guided tour of the VAHLE premises, during which the participants were able to gain an in-depth insight into the production of the specialist for mobile energy transmission and data communication solutions. The program continued with interesting presentations. Camen's mayor Elke Kappen spoke about how the municipality deals with the issue of sustainability. IHK Managing Director Stefan Schreiber then provided information on current topics from the IHK. Stefan Peltzer, Head of the Mobility, Energy and Sustainable Business Department at the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce, also presented practical tips on how companies can operate sustainably without losing sight of their own goals. The informal discussion over a shared snack once again concluded the traditional event.
