In fact, they form the pillars of our strategic plans to secure our future. We will only be able to be assured of our long-term economic success if we carefully consider the effects our business activities have on people and the environment all over the world.
In 2006, we began to comprehensively systematise our corporate responsibility, perceiving it as extending into and affecting every area of our business, and today sustainability is an integral part of our company strategy. In practice, this means that we assess and optimise our activities from ecological and social perspectives across country and market boundaries. We have clearly outlined our objective: to develop our company in a holistically sustainable manner, encompassing all our products and major processes. To this end, we set up a management system with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities. This includes open communication with all pertinent stakeholders in society, especially with regard to the challenges we cannot tackle alone.
