Our sustainability concept

Our sustainability concept consists of 5 fields of action, which are substantial for the orientation of our sustainability management.

Value Creation & Supply Chain: Within our own business activities we consistently put attention on measures to reduce our environmental footprint. At the same time, we focus on a transparent and sustainable supply chain. For further information please refer also to → our climate strategy.

Employees & Qualification: Our company considers itself an attractive and fair employer that offers its employees a wide range of career opportunities and options for further development.

Management & Governance: Our corporate activities are geared toward profitable growth and on trend-setting business areas and industries. In doing so, we always observe the principles of good corporate governance.
