Dr. Ilya Hartmann, CFO Nordex SE, who personally joined the event, said that evening: 'Sustainable growth is not a short-term goal for us, but a central component of our corporate strategy. This award is a recognition of the work of our nearly 11,000 employees worldwide, who work every day to drive the expansion of renewable energies. In doing so, they also contribute to Germany’s energy independence. We will continue to pursue innovation and sustainability with determination—for our customers, investors, partners, society and future generations.'
