Franz Fehrenbach

Indeed, there is much to connect you with the founder of our company: entrepreneurial success, but almost even more entrepreneurial responsibility. Just as Robert Bosch was ahead of his times with the voluntary introduction of the eight-hour work day, you, Michael Otto, are a pioneer in sustainability. Your thinking – and this is what impresses me – generates many practical initiatives, for example Cotton made in Africa. Likewise, environmental and climate protection are for you not just Sunday afternoon insights, but you do everything possible to reflect environmental goals in your company’s day-to-day business. It is precisely this fertile restlessness that you also bring into the circle of shareholders at Robert Bosch Industrietreuhand KG. You have been a member of this circle for almost eight years and I have experienced the debates with you on the topic of sustainability many times as very stimulating and engaging. Dear Michael Otto, I wish you the very best on your 70th birthday – sustainably!

Yours,

Franz Fehrenbach
