Holistic and integrated approach

Focused on material topics

We define the focal points for our sustainability management with the help of a materiality assessment. In accordance with the principle of double materiality, we take into account the actual and potential material impacts of the company on people and the environment along the value chain on the one hand, and the opportunities and risks that affect or may affect the company's earnings position on the other. We address the topics identified as material for the company – climate protection, circular economy, employees, human rights and ethical business practices – as part of our sustainability strategy. We have set ourselves ambitious targets to improve our sustainability performance and defined measures to achieve them. We report on this in detail in our Sustainability Statement in the Annual Report 2024.
