sustainability strategy

Thinking strategically about sustainability – responsibility with impact

Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy. As a family-owned company with 175 years of history, we connect entrepreneurial action with responsibility towards the environment, society and future generations.

Our sustainability compass provides clear guidance and covers topics such as environmental and energy management, innovation, fair working conditions and transparent corporate governance. In doing so, we take recognised standards such as the GRI into account and achieve alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as their targets.
