2020 Sustainability Report

14 This 2018 Sustainability Report applies to Girsberger Holding AG, Bützberg/Switzerland, Girsberger AG, Bützberg/Switzerland and Girsberger GmbH, Endingen/Germany and their subsidiaries in France, Austria and Benelux. All the information and figures in this report therefore refer to the Girsberger Group companies mentioned above. This report does not include the subsidiaries Girsberger Industries Inc., Smithfield/ USA, Mobimex AG, Seon/Switzerland, Boreal doo, Kraljevci/Serbia, Bo-Real Estate doo, Kraljevci/Serbia, as well as the joint-venture production company Tuna Girsberger Tic. AS, Silivri/Turkey. In light of the fact that Girsberger Ind., Inc./USA and Bo-Real Estate doo/Serbia are lim- ited to the holding of real estate, we consider their inclusion unnecessary for the purpose of environmental certification. Boreal doo has been a subsidiary of Girsberger Holding AG since July 2016. Environmental targets also form an integral part of our economic planning as well as our internal report- ing and controlling systems at this production site too. It is our objective to certify Boreal doo to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 by the end of 2022, in order to include this new subsidi- ary in our Sustainability Report from 2023. Mobimex AG produces and sells a completely independent furniture collection. The Zoom by Mobimex brand is positioned at the apex of the top market segment and is therefore managed strictly separately from Girsberger. To create a separate Sustainability Report for Mobimex AG would involve disproportionately high costs. The Girsberger office chairs produced by Tuna Girsberger Tic. AS in Turkey are exclusively for sale in Turkey and export to the Near and Middle East. Girsberger Holding AG’s share- holding in Tuna Girsberger Tic. AS is 50%. The economic crisis that has been going on for years, exacerbated by the Corona pandemic, makes it difficult for Girsberger Tic. AS to generate positive operating results. For cost reasons, therefore, environmental certification has been put on hold for the time being. Nevertheless, environmental targets also form an integral part of our economic planning as well as our internal reporting and controlling systems at this production site too. Organisation chart/scope
