Sustainability management

To implement the sustainability strategy, the Sustainability department reports to the Executive Board. Persons are appointed to be responsible for the individual topics of the sustainability strategy and are coordinated by the Sustainability department. The strategic significance of sustainability-related topics is also reflected in components of variable remuneration for the Executive Board.

As components of the targets agreed with the Executive Board, the three-year average of the annual specific CO₂ emission development, the three-year average of the annual employment development and the three-year average of the annual development of the expenses for initial training, company training and continuous education in relation to the number of employees are included in Executive Board remuneration. In each case, a target corridor was defined, the achievement of which triggers a corresponding bonus. Remuneration report and remuneration system
