As the long-standing managing director of a traditional family business in its sixth generation, Röders is particularly concerned with the issues of sustainability and small and medium-sized enterprises: "Small and medium-sized enterprises are an important anchor of stability for our country - as drivers of innovation, for sustainable business, for local responsibility in the communities and countries of our production sites. We want to continue to operate in Germany and Europe in the future. For this, our companies urgently need to be freed from the increasingly tight bureaucratic corset. In my view, the key to this lies in mutual trust between the state and businesses. We need a change in thinking here: away from the protection mentality towards a responsibility mentality on both sides. As President, I would like to make a special effort to achieve this," explained Gerd Röders.
