Our targets
We have defined future concepts for all of our key value creation areas – coffee and coffee cultivation, plastics and plastic products, paper and pulp, and electrical appliances – which we want to achieve by 2025 or 2030. We believe that these areas offer the greatest leverage for contributing to sustainable development. We have therefore designated these as our primary areas of action.
In addition, we have defined targets for all other topics identified as material. Topic managers have been appointed in the individual business fields to implement these targets. They are supported by staff from Corporate Communication and Sustainability (Z-KN), in particular with regard to strategy derivation, project management, the setting of sub-targets, and the definition of suitable KPIs. At Group level, the Corporate Sustainability Team is responsible for coordination and management. The achievement of these targets is monitored by Chief Corporate Management, supported by a management and reporting system implemented and managed by the Corporate Sustainability Team.
