On 2 March 1972, 50 years ago today, the Club of Rome published the booklet "The Limits to Growth" based on the research work of the American MIT on the ecological and economic balance in the world. It also dealt with climate change, storms, floods and fires - forecasts that are still relevant today.

Today, resource-saving energy use, commitment to the energy turnaround and sustainable management are all the more important.

As a "Member of the Diversity Charter", today's Zero Discrimination Day is naturally particularly close to RWTÜV's heart. The day of action launched by the UN aims to draw attention worldwide to injustice and oppression for a wide variety of reasons.

At the RWTÜV Group, we are turning our backs on our own front door. Among other things, there are project groups made up of employees at all levels who review structures, processes and practices in everyday work.

Today is worldwide ThinkingDay! No, not "ponder", but rather "commemorate". It commemorates the worldwide community of the Boy Scouts and the birthday of its founder Robert Baden-Powell and his wife Olave.

We think the day is worth mentioning because, firstly, many groups use it to get involved in charitable causes and, secondly, many organisations also celebrate it as "FoundersDay".

You just can't think enough about founding and donating. :)

On Monday 7 February 2022, our anniversary suitcase arrived at CETECOM Limited in Korea. The colleagues were the first to enjoy the functional shirts printed with both the CETECOM and RWTÜV anniversary logos, made of 100% recycled microplastic, and the accompanying sports bags.

According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the global share of women and girls in research and development work is less than 30 per cent. To change this and to tap the dormant potential, there is today's International Day of Women and Girls in Science. 

In its anniversary year, RWTÜV has made this topic a special priority. The Diversity Charter was signed as early as 2021 to express the desire to recruit and promote regardless of gender. Another building block: strengthening the HR department.

Valentine's Day - yes, but what and who do we actually love? The people of Cologne love their city. They certainly do. Even though a good year ago they uninstalled the 26-metre-long and up to 4-metre-high "Liebe deine Stadt" ("Love your city") lettering by artist Merlin Bauer on the Nord-Süd-Fahrt.

Can we even love a company? We the RWTÜV, you their companies? Our favourite animal, favourite food, car? Or does true love only work between people? Either way, in the end, it's nice every year to dedicate a special day to love.
