SCHOTT has been nominated for the German Sustainability Award 2011 for its environmentally friendly CERAN® cooktop panel. Together with two other companies, SCHOTT is one of the top three in the category “Germany's most sustainable products and services”.
With its nomination, the jury paid tribute to SCHOTT’s outstanding technological expertise and its acceptance of responsibility for society and the environment.

Recognized for Environmental Friendliness!
SCHOTT AG® was granted with the German Innovation Award 2010 in the large enterprises category for CERAN Suprema® and CERAN Hightrans® eco glass-ceramic cooktop panels for environmentally-friendly manufacturing techniques. Through this prestigious recognition, SCHOTT secures its ability to continue manufacturing SCHOTT CERAN® glass-ceramic panels in Germany, the development of new blue lighting capabilities for its cooktop panels, as well as its successful ingredient branding strategy together with its customers.
When developing its innovations, SCHOTT is closely guided by the needs of its customers, for whom sustainability plays an important role. A glass-ceramic cooktop panel that doesn’t contain the metals arsenic and antimony has resulted from this developmental work. The Mainz-based company became the first manufacturer in the world to produce this product with the help of SCHOTT`s patented melting technology. SCHOTT now saves more than 180 tons of these heavy metals each year and thus makes an important contribution to our environment.
