Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy
Here you will find a summarised overview of our comprehensive ESG strategy, our commitment to human rights and our report on the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG 2023). We also attach great importance to transparency with regard to our commitment to sustainability and publish our annual sustainability report as part of the group management report. In addition, our remuneration report creates transparency with regard to the integration of ESG criteria in Executive Board remuneration.
