In the years when Germany raised the banner of environmental protection high.
Outsiders only knew that the operational costs of German enterprises began to increase significantly. But those not inside the enterprise were unaware of exactly how much they had increased.
This time, when the financial reports of Germany's major enterprises were released, almost half of Germany's business community was shocked.
BMW's net profit decreased by 29 percent, Volkswagen by 33 percent, Audi by 37.5 percent, Mercedes-Benz by 55.8 percent, the world's third-largest auto parts supplier ZF switched to a net loss, profits fell by 42 percent, and the giant parts supplier Bosch's profit dropped by 30 percent, the global chemical giant BASF's net profit decreased by about 50 percent.
In other words, the six giant enterprises in Germany, the entire nation's business has come to a halt, profits have all plummeted, and they have all begun planning major layoffs.
