Transparency

In open dialogue

Management approach: We are creating transparency about our impact on environmental, social and governance considerations. Our target groups include both our external stakeholders as well as our employees.

Implementation: We are raising awareness of our sustainability ambitions among Zehnder employees. We are motivating and inspiring them to implement these ambitions. With this report, we are publishing limited assurance reporting for the year 2022 and are moving closer to achieving the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as a first step.

Outlook: In the future, we intend to involve our stakeholders to an even greater extent to further deepen the content of our focus topics. We will also continue to develop our sustainability reporting and align it with the legal requirements. The focus is on adopting a stronger risk-based perspective in the future as well as creating transparency with regard to financial risks in line with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Compliance with the TCFD will become mandatory in 2025 for the 2024 reporting year. We also aim to further strengthen the dialogue with our stakeholders through targeted formats such as investor meetings, governance roadshows and qualitative interviews with the most prominent stakeholders. Our goal is to demonstrate even more clearly to all stakeholders where we are heading as a company.
