The award was presented to 14 companies, four of which were from Baden-Wuerttemberg. In the competition which receives national attention companies are not only evaluated under business aspects, their role and their work in society is also rated.
All winners prevailed over 2436 competitors which had been nominated in the four competing regions. All in all 4917 small and medium-sized companies as well as banks and local communities had been nominated nationwide for the competition in 2018.

It were not only the economic success that characterised the Zedler-Group, it is also their commitment to social and sustainable issues - on a local level as well as worldwide, emphasizes Jahnke.
