Corporate responsibility strategy and management

Corporate-Responsibility-Strategy and -Management (photo)

Since the very beginning, corporate responsibility has been an integral part of our corporate culture. This is reflected in both our mission statement as well our Values. Our corporate responsibility strategy allows us to address the key issues impacting our business and stakeholders, which we identify by conducting regular materiality analyses using feedback from internal and external stakeholders. Our requirements for the responsible conduct of all employees are specified in numerous guidelines, and we use management systems to help steer key action areas.
