"We design our business activities in such a way that they are ecologically responsible, socially just and economically profitable. People are always at the centre of everything we do."

freenet AG sees itself as having a direct responsibility towards its employees, customers, shareholders, the environment and the social environment - both at the company locations and in the context of society as a whole.

Our sustainability activities therefore take place in all three ESG dimensions: in the area of the environment (E stands for Environment), in social matters (S stands for Social) and in relation to responsible corporate management (G stands for Governance).

ESG RATINGS

ESG ratings by independent rating agencies increase transparency for all stakeholders with regard to the classification and weighting of relevant sustainability activities. freenet AG uses the opportunity for active dialogue.

The management of non-financial issues is assessed by international ESG rating agencies. The Investor Relations & ESG department is in continuous exchange with four relevant players. 

Since 2018, freenet AG has also been disclosing climate data, especially on CO2 emissions, as part of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), thus making its impact on the environment transparent. In 2022, the company is once again a designated CDP Discloser through its active participation in the CDP and voluntary completion of the CDP questionnaire.
