SUSTAINABILITY #09
HOW WE THINK AND ACT SUSTAINABLY
SUSTAINABILITY IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY, AND COMPANIES HAVE A PARTICULAR RESPONSIBILITY TO LIVE UP TO. AT KNAUS TABBERT, SUSTAINABILITY, OR ESG, WHICH STANDS FOR ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE, HAS HIGH PRIORITY. Consequently, we not only work to ensure that we as a company deal responsibly with the environment, our staff and business partners, but also that our products contribute to a more sustainable life for our customers. For these reasons, we at Knaus Tabbert address sustainability at Management Board level. As a company with more than 80 years of history, we know what it means to plan far ahead. In terms of quality, efficiency, design and innovation, we rank among the leading and best-known manufacturers of recreational vehicles in Europe. We believe that
tradition and sustainable business practices go hand in hand. When purchasing a motorhome or caravan, our customers make a long-term investment. Consequently, we feel a special responsibility to ensure sustainable use for our customers, and for all those who value the freedom afforded by mobile forms of holidaying. Our corporate culture and Code of Conduct form the basis for sustainable action. They give our employees guidance on how to behave towards their customers, subordinates, colleagues and managers while preserving their individual personalities. S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y A S A N I N T E G R A L PA R T O F O U R BUSINESS MODEL We have decided to henceforth adopt a more focused and strategic approach to sustainability within the company. While we are currently implementing numerous individual projects at our various locations,
our activities will in future be geared towards the attainment of strategic goals throughout the company. To this end, we performed a materiality analysis for the first time this year, allowing us to identify topics of relevance to our business model, with regard to the impact of our business operations, and from the perspective of our various stakeholder groups. In total, we identified 10 material issues to which we will be paying special attention. The topic of sustainability is addressed at Management Board level. ESG structures are to be established within the company as part of a project in 2022. The goal is to strengthen the strategic alignment of our numerous initiatives. With the creation of an ESG management, measures will be coordinated, steered and checked specifically for their effectiveness.
