At an initial meeting, a committee made up of members of senior management (CEO, Managing Director, the Head of Product and Brand Development, Production Manager, Marketing Manager and the Head of Sustainability) determine the focus of the sustainability strategy and the general objectives for the next two years. In a next step, these objectives are discussed and approved with the division heads. The following are the topics on which we focus in this report. Key sustainability themes Procurement practices Procurement markets Product stewardship, environmental compliance Remanufacturing and upcycling New sustainable materials Resources and raw materials Operational waste, disposal Logistics (road traffic and transport) Energy consumption and emissions Supplier assessment according to environmental criteria Raising employees’ awareness of environmental issues Equal treatment, equal opportunities and equal pay Employee satisfaction Workplace health promotion Education and training Corporate citizenship Ethics and human rights Customer health and safety Supplier assessment according to social criteria Economy Ecology Social affairs
