This is confirmed by various international surveys such as a study published by the opinion and market research institute “Research International,” which interviewed more than 1,000 opinion leaders in 2005. There are many reasons for this positive public image, including good social benefits and a trust-based relationship with stakeholders – as well as in no small part the company’s tremendous efforts on behalf of society. » more
