OUR SUSTAINABILITYCOMMITMENT

Building upon our commitment to climate action in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we have set ambitious goals to reduce our carbon emissions for our company group – and our client business in the retail industry.

For our remaining carbon footprint we work with our independent partner DEKRA to offset our emissions and mitigate climate change by supporting carbon offset projects — paving our way to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025.

Our commitment goes far beyond emissions reduction – focusing on complementary social, economical & environmental measures as well.

Science comes first

We support the UN Sustainable Development Goals and based our corporate sustainability strategy and corresponding measures on them. Furthermore, we believe in climate science and the importance of a data based approach. That’s why we are quantifying our sustainability efforts wherever possible.
