2022 Sustainability Report

7 that being able to offer attractive office space is becoming much more important. The nature of our service enables us to cater for these societal and economic trends: with its timelessly beautiful furniture, Girsberger offers a way of transforming living and office spaces into pleasant places in which people can work happily and productively. Our furniture is of enduring quality, highly functional, verifiably environmentally-friendly and manufactured in an entirely sustainable way – we have been climate-neutral since 2015. On the strength of this, we will be adding numerous new models to our Home and Office product ranges during the 2023 financial year, while continuing to pursue our existing five primary objectives: 1. Increase market penetration by focusing consistently on the following areas of business: • Office furniture: Girsberger Office • Home furniture: Girsberger Home • Project specific furnishings: Girsberger Customized Furniture • Refurbishing of commercial furniture and upcycling: Girsberger Remanufacturing • Exclusive furniture in the high-end commercial and residential market segment: Zoom by Mobimex and Studio by Mobimex (new including Mobimex Outside) • Timber trade: Girsberger Solid Wood 2. Expand the Girsberger Office and Home product ranges to include complete furnishing solutions for working from home 3. Enhance the Zoom by Mobimex and Studio by Mobimex collections 4. Further develop the Girsberger Customized Furniture, Remanufacturing and wood trade areas of business 5. Continue to manage the company in a measurably sustainable manner in accordance with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) guidelines and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) The progress made so far in 2023 compared with last year in terms of incoming orders, turnover and operating results is positive. At the same time, though, global political and economic developments remain unpredictable even in the short term. Unexpectedly arising events with far-reaching consequences for our future business performance are possible at any time. Whether or not we achieve our business objectives for 2023 is therefore subject to risk. All the more reason for us to be ready at all times to adapt our investment plans and running costs if necessary, by taking relevant measures depending on the situation. Our primary aim remains to preserve our corporate independence by continuing to develop the Girsberger Group as a profitable, principled and dynamic business. We regard entrepreneurial independence primarily as a responsibility – a responsibility to show creativity, courage and perseverance in maintaining a balance between commercial success, social justice and care for the environment.
