| Sustainable development management |
|
Our reputation as an industry leader in sustainability is based on our conviction that we have to deliver on what we promise, and on our compliance with internal and external standards. Key to this is the commitment of line managers to implement Group targets and agreed objectives.
A steering group for SD operates as a subcommittee of the Executive Committee (Exco). The SD steering committee includes the CEO, two Exco members responsible for SD and Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S), and SD functional managers. It supports executive and Board decision making and sets the direction for our SD engagement. At Exco level, responsibility for SD is united under Benoît-H. Koch. Bernard Kueng is the Group SD functional manager covering all departments with specific SD responsibilities. These are Corporate Industrial Ecology, Corporate Environmental Relations and CSR/SD Coordination. OH&S reports to Exco member Thomas Knöpfel. The following chart illustrates our integrated approach to SD management at Group and Group company level. |
