Corporate responsibility is part of our busi­ness pol­icy. In Ringi­er terms, sustainability means pursu­ing our compa­ny's financial objectives while keeping the envi­ron­ment and our society in mind.
 

In 1833 Johann Rudolf Ringi­er bought a small print shop in Zofin­gen (Switzer­land). Over the course of the sub­se­quent 179 years this has bur­geoned into an inter­natio­nally op­erating me­dia enterprise. The compa­ny chron­icle can be found here.
