| Abstract |
Owners of Medium-sized steel construction companies and employers also have a personal responsibility to position their companies and their industry in a sustainable manner in the interests of future generations. A personal contribution explains how the entrepreneur Bernhard Hahner acts within the six areas of action worked out for his company in order to continuously come closer to the goal of "climate-neutral steel construction" The article examines the possibilities of influencing suppliers and service providers, presents the development of own sustainable steel construction products and, in the area of "steel construction production", explains changes and improvements to buildings and systems that have already been implemented and are planned. Another topic is the cooperation with customers who both demand sustainable production and who can optimize projects before the start of production through intensive cooperation in the planning phase. Trends such as urban mining or building information modeling are also discussed. Conclusion of the current situation: far-reaching changes are unavoidable, but they are also realistically feasible. |
