In his current role, he is involved in all strategic projects and can therefore continue them smoothly. In addition to the finance department, Brosi is responsible for ICT with the digitization projects and for sustainability & environment, with the company pursuing the ambition of reducing their greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2040.
