Sustainability Report

The report presents the company's fifth sustainability report, covering all production sites, sales companies, offices and R&D centers. It highlights 2007 reductions in global energy, water, greenhouse gas and waste totals despite business restructuring and declining sales. The company also introduced a three-phase materiality test and matrix to prioritize stakeholder issues. The report was independently assured by BSI and Sd3, with a whole-report scope and limited assurance.
