Annual Report 2010

 

Additional indicators are printed in grey.

 

Every single core indicator is presented. Gaps in numeration need to be attributed to the fact that only relevant additional indicators are presented in the index.

 

 

1

We do not report these implications, because data do not exist. Apart from being highly complex, the quantification of such data is subject to factors beyond our control (e.g. pricing trends). We will thus still be unable to quantify these data in the future.

2

We currently do not report the weight or volume of the materials used, because the data are confidential.

3

We still do not report indirect energy consumption, because data do not exist. We intend to report on our total indirect energy consumption by 2013.

4

We currently do not report these data, because the percentage has no bearing on our business and it would be too complex to collate data.

5

We still do not report all the parameters listed, because complete data do not exist. We aim to extend data classification to cover temporary and permanent employment contracts by 2013.

6

We still do not report all the parameters listed, because complete data do not exist. We aim to extend data classification to cover gender and age group by 2013.

7

We still do not report this aspect, because data do not exist. We intend to classify the workplace-accident data by region by 2013. The sickness rate is recorded in Germany only.

8

We still do not report the percentage, but plan to do so by 2013.

9

We do not report this aspect further, because, in general, we give our employees the opportunity to organize themselves as labor unions.

10

We do not report this aspect further, because our employment process and the conditions set down in our groupwide Code of Conduct ensure that no child labor is used.

11

We do not report this aspect further, because our employment process and the conditions set down in our groupwide Code of Conduct ensure that no forced or compulsory labor is used.
