Scale sustainability impact with our partners, leading to responsible business practices in our supply chain.
Sustainable development requires a commitment to action, as well as cooperation with effective partners. The interlinking of different perspectives is an especially good basis for embracing the complex and globally interlinked context of sustainability. This is how specialized knowledge and resources can be effectively combined to drive transformational change. We understand collaboration to mean adopting responsible business practices and acting sustainably in partnership along the entire value chain.
Accordingly, we use a responsible sourcing approach to take a comprehensive view of sustainability aspects along our supply chains, including cooperation with our suppliers. Just as important is the cooperation with our customers. We also believe it is important to work closely with our retail partners to promote sustainable and resource-efficient consumption.
We are committed to engaging in active dialogue with our stakeholders. We are involved in initiatives worldwide together with industry representatives and civil society players, and participate in political and social discussions. This networking helps us make a more holistic assessment of impacts on the economy, the environment and society, and to develop joint systemic solutions.
