Dearreader,We are delighted to present important news from the year which is nearing an end in our annual „poleposition“.

Today, I would like to take the opportunity to touch upon a subject that is extremely important to us which is often simply forgotten or neglected in the ordinary chaos of everyday life: Value and appreciation – and I don‘t mean the value and appreciation of a company.

Appreciation can consist of many elements: Praise, recogni-tion, respect, fairness, body language, eye contact, etc. Even constructive criticism can be a component of appreciation. Many companies have relocated abroad in the course of

globalisation. Such actions resulted in economic worries for some of the employees who were working in such locations. In some cases, their loyalty to the company was rewarded in terms of money but it was not appreciated. Towards the end of the year, many companies say how their employees are their most valuable assets. However, it is more important for each individual to be seen as a person and not only as a service provider, irrespective of whether they are old or young. Without good relations, any expressed appreciation simply feels like an expensive gift wrapped in old newspaper. Our company not only lives together with the people that work here, it also lives through them too and the connection can be felt. To ensure that this remains the case, we want to make an effort and that isn‘t really much of an effort.

We hope that you enjoy reading „poleposition“.

Maintainingqualityoflife/donationpermitsthefurnishingoftheroom

The new palliative care room was inaugurated at the Freudenstadt district hospital this summer. colordruck Baiersbronn made a donation towards this at the end of 2013 (as we reported). Therefore, Associates Renate Bengel and Marlis Schwedes were present at the inauguration ceremony alongside Theo Blum, Authorised Representative of the Freudenstadt District Hospitals (KLF), Nursing Director Renate Merkl and Head Physician Erich Arnold. Patients suffering from an advanced disease and with a limited life expectancy are given medical, nursing and pastoral care and support here. The aim is to reduce pain and other symptoms as well as to provide or maintain the best possible quality of life for the patient. The patients and their relatives are also provided with support in the event that they are suffering from physical, emotional and social stress. Theo Blum and Renate Merkl showed their appreciation for the donation from colordruck, without which it would not have been possible to furnish the palliative care room. „Unfortunately, there is no public money available for this type of patient care...“, explained Erich Arnold.

BaiersbronndonationtosocialwelfareworkMany years ago, the colordruck Baiersbronn associates and managing directors decided to make donations towards good causes instead of giving presents to customers. Consequently, the company has been able to generously support pro-jects such as the awning on the „Schelcklewiesen shared playground“, the palliative care room at the Freudenstadt district hospital, the Freudenstadt counselling service and the conversion of the Murgtalhalle at the school centre in Murg in the past.

The employees at the Baiersbronn social welfare centre were also given new and warm winter coats in 2015 prior to the onset of win-ter. This donation from colordruck was gratefully received.

Supportinglocalclubscolordruck Baiersbronn also supports the important youth work carried out by the local sport clubs. Consequently, the youth teams from SGM Murgtal (SV Mitteltal-Obertal, SV Baiersbronn, VFR Klosterreichenbach and SV Huzenbach) have recently been able to show off their new outfits. colordruck Baiersbronn has sponsored the new zip-up tops. The football teams from the Murg Valley districts expressed a desire for everybody representing the clubs to provide a uniform appearance in the Northern Black Forest. The trainers and teams thanked colordruck Baiersbronn by giving both associates, Ms Renate Bengel and Ms Marlis Schwedes, flowers and a gift hamper. We would also like to thank HR Manager, Jürgen Kilgus, for the excellent proces-sing of this youth campaign.

MagicalsummernightThe unforgettable open day was the highlight of 2014. Our summer party was postponed in favour of this wonderful event. In 2015, the colordruck Baiersbronn workforce finally met again to enjoy the popular, traditional summer party on the company premises. Supported by associate, Renate Bengel, the commercial apprentices assumed full responsibility for the organisation of the event this year. In almost Mediterranean conditions, the employees were able to sit together and enjoy the culinary delicacies, the cool drinks and the excellent music. The evening was round-ed off with a magician. His tricks were responsible for some thought-provoking, questioning expressions. This „magical summer night“ was very special. It was wonderful to experience how it is possible to find time to celebrate and laugh together in our fast-paced world... deep into the night.

colordruckBaiersbronninvestinginthefuture

colordruck Baiersbronn is continuing to invest! Once again, colordruck is demonstrating how deep rooted the company is in the region. By purchasing the new Speedmaster XL 106, an eight-colour printer manufactured by Heidelber-ger Druckmaschinen AG, the company has expanded its machine pool and once again demonstrates the following: The latest technology and sustainability ideally complement each other in the field of print production. colordruck Baiersbronn has been following a detailed investment plan for many years. The objective of this comprehensive plan is to systematically ensure that the printer and punching machine pool is kept up-to-date. With the new „eight-colour“ Speedmaster, colordruck Baiersbronn has reinforced its position as a technological leader in the section. With the new Heidelberger XL 106-8, colordruck is in a position to either print 8 colours + varnish in a single step or to print 2 colours on the reverse side of the box and, in the same printing step, print a further 6 colours + varnish on the front side of the box once the printed sheet has been turned. Managing Director Frank Büsching is aware that the packaging market is demanding an increasingly higher number of spot colours. So-called corporate colours of the customers are becoming increasingly important. With the new eight-colour machine, colordruck Baiersbronn is providing an effective response to this trend. „It goes without saying that positive experiences with Inpress Control and Netprofiler for a constant and reproducible print quality have been incorporated into the new machine configuration“, explains Managing Director Martin Bruttel. The new XL 106-8 has already been taken into consideration in the PSO certification cycle. It has successfully passed the impression test in accordance with the Process Standard Offset (PSO).

VisitbytheFDPMemberofStateParliament,Dr.TimmKernEducational and economic issues were the main focus of the two-hour visit of Dr. Timm Kern to colordruck Baiersbronn.In light of the acute shortage of specialists, the FDP education expert, Dr. Timm Kern, explained his idea of good education policy: „I emphatically promote a cross-party school peace and diverse educational services. The Green Party-SPD Party standardisation of our school system must be stopped. Secondary and vocational schools must be strengthened in particular in order to obtain well-educated specialists.“ colordruck Baiersbronn has taken up the current challenges. For instance, ultra-modern production plants represent an attractive work environment. The well- educated workforce ensures the quality of the products and is supported by means of advanced training. In terms of the current streams of refugees, Managing Director Frank Büsching described the chance for colordruck Baiersbronn as follows: „We will make specific use of this immigration in order to also obtain specialists for a structurally-weak area.“

• colordruckBaiersbronnpresentonceagainatthe„TopJob“vocationaltrainingfairin2015

Once again, colordruck Baiersbronn attended the „Top Job“ fair this year at the Freudenstadt Kurhaus. On 16.07.2015, colordruck was present alongside other training organisations from the region at the annual vocational training fair. For the third time in

a row, we fielded questions from the masses of school pupils and people searching for apprenticeships. Our 4 apprenticeship areas of Print Media Technology Expert, Packaging Technology Expert, Digital and Print Media Designer as well as Industrial Clerk were presented by first-year and second-year apprentices Paul Luther, Kim Öhrlein, Fabienne Finkbeiner and Pascal Wahlich. Once again, the fair was a complete success and new contacts were made with lots of school pupils.

NewapprenticesstartingtheirprofessionalcareersOn September 1, it was time again: Seven young people started their apprenticeship at colordruck Baiersbronn. We are delighted to welcome the new arrivals to the team! After an obligatory welcome and induction day, we started the second day with an interesting joint workshop. Boxes were the sole focus of the third day. Together with HR Manager Jürgen Kilgus, we visited a large box manufacturer in order to see and experience what the sustainable raw material, „wood“ is turned into. Wood is the material that the apprentices will have a lot to do with over the course of the next few years at colordruck.

„Gautschfest“initiationceremonyfortwoprintingapprentices

The German term „Gautschen“ (or „couching“) originally refers to the placing of the freshly-drawn sheet of paper from the screen on to a felt base as an initial drainage step following drawing

of the paper. „Gautschen“, a book printing tradition, also refers to an initiation ceremony following completion of the studies in which the apprentice, the couching master, the first and second packer and a sponge holder participate.

The ceremony is accompanied by a number of witnesses and viewers and colordruck is no exception! For the first time in the history of colordruck Baiersbronn, two female colleagues were the main protagonists in the couching ceremony. They had to ensure this traditional act regardless of the consequences. Martina Dieringer and Ramona Haas received their „Gautschbrief“ (certificate) from the teacher following the wet spectacle.

colordruckpackagingcontest–CPCSix winners of the „1st colordruck packaging contest“ claimed their winner‘s prize on May 20. At 7:15 and in light rain, the winners set off to the Rust-based „Europapark“ theme park together with HR Manager Jürgen Kilgus. The six apprentices quickly started their eventful day with the „Silverstar“ high-speed roller coaster. Speeds of 130 km/h and an acceleration of 4G got everybody‘s hearts pumping. Eurosat was responsible for the next adrenaline boost. The apprentices were then able to catch their breaths somewhat in the Eurotower. A special treat was the joint lunch in the first looping restaurant in the world, „Food-Loop“. Food and drinks ordered in advance via touch screen hurtle to the table via a sophisticated rail system complete with loops. Refreshend and fortified, the apprentices went for round 2: An afternoon filled with Europapark attractions and shows. Kim Öhrlein, Ramona Haas, Martina Dieringer, Pascal Wahlich, Paul Luther

and Kevin Sener started their jour-ney back home at 17:30, just before the park closed for the evening. The end of an eventful and wonderful day for our apprentices.

Responsiblypackaged

Problems posed by climate change requires entrepreneurial foresight. By using CO2-compensated packaging, you are acting in an exemplary manner and positioning yourself as a forward-looking company.„Climate-neutral“ means that exact greenhouse gas calculations are made for packages and these emissions are compensated via the purchase of certificates. Thanks to a CO2 calculator from ClimatePartner which has been tested and is recognised by TÜV Austria, we are in the position to determine the remaining CO2 emission from packaging productions, both in an order-specific manner as well as for this entire process chain. In doing so, the calculation meets the requirements of ISO Standard 16759.

Why do climate protection projects save greenhouse gas emissions?Climate protection projects lead to wind farms being constructed instead of power stations for instance. These emission savings can be traded in the form of emission saving certificates. In order to do so, a climate protection project must meet certain criteria such as a long-term saving of greenhouse gas emissions for example. As greenhouse gases spread themselves evenly in the atmosphere, the generated greenhouse gas effect is a global phenomenon. According to the principle of climate neutrality, the part of the globe in which the emissions are generated or saved is therefore irrelevant. In fact, the global reduction of greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere is crucial.The market mechanism of emission trading originated from the Kyoto Protocol and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) which was defined there. For emerging and developing countries, emission trading is a significant drive for the transfer of clean technologies and a sustainably-oriented economic development.With regard to CO2-compensated packaging, we advise our customers to purchase reputable „Gold Standard“ climate protection certificates. This ensures that the projects are meaningful in terms of climate as well as development policy. The „Gold Standard“ is the first independent quality standard for greenhouse gas reduction projects in the context of the CDM Clean Development Mechanism.Depending on the product specification, the additional cost for climate-neutral packaging amounts to approx. 2 % of the order value.

Gold Standard for climate protection projectsInvolving the WWF and 40 further NGOs (non-governmental organisations), the „Gold Standard“ was developed for climate

protection projects and sets particularly strict requirements in terms of sustainable development and the incorporation of the local population. It was previously only applicable in the context of renewable energies, energy efficiency and waste management. The „Gold Standard“ method was extended with the assumption of the CarbonFix Standard in 2013, which means that land use and forest projects can now be certified using this method.

You receive the „climate-neutral packaging“ label complete with your individual identification number for compensated packaging orders.

We are happy to assist you – you can view possible climate protection projects on our homepage at www.colordruck.net

WeattachMASSIVEimportancetoSAFETY

Tuesday +++ May 12 2015 +++ The fire alarm is triggered +++ Sirens warn the entire colordruck workforce +++ An emergency is simulated. As part of this safety drill, all employees were requested to leave their work-place and stop the current order on the machine. The company then had to be evacuated via the shortest escape route. Each and every person was requested to move towards their assigned assembly point and to report to their responsible

evacuation officer. The following task was to wait. The all-clear was only issued once it had been documented that all employees had reached their assembly point. This first evacuation of the entire company was prepared and coordinated by Fire Officer Michael Beilharz. He is also a member of the voluntary fire service in Baiersbronn. His conclusion: „Bearing in mind that this was the first exercise of this kind, the result was satisfactory. The exercise took place quickly without any major incidents. It was not to be expected that the evacuation would take place without any problems at the first attempt. The next evacuation can be optimised using the experiences of this exercise“, says Michael Beilharz.

Advancedtrainingforfirst-aidersFirst aid and occupational safety is massively important at colordruck and is a fixed component of the company philosophy. „Old hands“ as well as new first-aiders were trained in the company on two Saturdays during the year (May 11 and June 6). Numerous theoretical training content was learned and then applied during the subsequent practical exercises. This advanced and further training was prepared and implemented by Alexander Martinez on behalf of the German Red Cross.

ImportantvisitorsatcolordruckCDU Primary Candidate, Guido Wolf, was also in Baiersbronn at part of his annual summer tour. He didn‘t want to miss out on a visit to colordruck Baiersbronn, one of the most modern companies in Europe and technological leader in the packaging sector. After the factory tour, Guido Wolf was impressed by the innovation and the cross-branch packaging solutions: everything oozed premium quality, functionality and economy. Following his visit, Mr Wolf was more convinced than ever before that sustainable growth is being created in Baiersbronn: Continuous investments are being made in the training and further training of employees. Although it would have been wonder ful

to discuss various topics with the leading politician, it was not possib-le for this to take place due to the tight schedule. After 90 minu-tes, Guido Wolf continued on his summer tour.
