As a beverages group with a company history going back over 250 years, we have firmly embedded long-term thinking into our corporate culture. As a manufacturing corporate group, we bear responsibility for our products and their consumers and are therefore increasingly focused on a sustainably operating value chain and on offering products to be enjoyed responsibly or are natural and healthy. At a time when environmental protection has become a key global challenge, we believe that safeguarding the natural foundations of life for future generations is part and parcel of our responsibility as a company.
As a responsibly acting group of companies, we strive for continuous improvement particularly where our business activities have the greatest effects on ecological and social aspects. Our sustainability strategy sets the framework for our efforts by focusing our activities on the three action fields People – Planet – Products. To embed the principles of sustainable thinking and business in all areas and processes of the group, we have defined concrete goals and measures in all three action fields.
The most important tasks of sustainability management include anchoring our understanding of sustainability and sustainability strategy in the minds of employees and external stakeholders as well as in our everyday operating processes. The Sustainability Council, a regular management committee with the aim to decentralize sustainability issues, successfully integrate them into the departments and company processes, contributes to an efficient control of the activities. We are committed to the regulatory framework set out in the German Corporate Governance Code and its guiding principles.
