Key Performance Indicators
, Our goals for a sustainable futureSustainability is not just a strategic goal for us, but a comprehensive approach that shapes all aspects of our actions. In this context, we see responsibility as a central guideline that emphasises our holistic ESG approach. After all, sustainability is about more than climate change – we’re also committed to social engagement and responsible governance.
Materiality analysis
, Identification of our strategic sustainability issuesIn order to contribute to sustainable development, companies must understand what impact their business activities have on the environment and society. We assess this impact by means of a materiality analysis. In doing so, we consider potential and actual, positive and negative impacts that arise or can arise either directly or indirectly through the company.
