From 2013 to 2016, a sustainability report was drawn up in accordance with the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI – most recently as per the GRI G4 Guidelines, “Core” option). Since 2017, the MCH Group has refrained from GRI certification of its sustainability reporting, the effort involved has become too great.
However, the structure and content of the 2018 Sustainability Report are based on those of previous years. In addition to the CEO statement and a description of the aims and the reporting, it is divided up into the sections of Economic, Environmental and Social, with key aspects described in each of these. The Sustainability Report has been drawn up in the context of the 2018 Business Report (Annual Report, Financial Report, Remuneration Report) to which reference is made at different points.
