Our ESG governance

Our ESG governance

Our Executive Board is informed frequently of relevant market and sales performance and determines the strategic course on this basis. This topic is mainly monitored and managed by our CEO and CFO, as well as via the segments. The individual business areas are responsible for the concrete implementation of the ESG business strategy. In addition to the individual product areas, our risk management function is also involved with ESG topics. At the Supervisory Board level it is mainly the Strategy and Sustainability Committee that deals with ESG, advising the Executive Board on matters of strategic importance. These include sustainable corporate governance and our ESG business activities.
