Status of Goals set in 2015/2016

“Health culture 2020” project: WACKER aims to develop its corporate health culture further in order to improve staff health and keep employees fit for work.

Corporate entity: WACKER Germany

Deadline: Implementation from 2016 on, sustainable improvement by 2020

Implementation status: The project made progress in the period under review. It focuses on four main areas: exercise, nutrition, state of health and prevention. Employees can avail themselves of programs relevant to each of these topics.

Reduce accident rate (number of accidents with lost workdays per million hours worked) to at least 1.7

Corporate entity: Group

Deadline: 2020

Implementation status:

The number of accidents with workdays lost totaled 2.9 per million hours worked in 2018. We are not satisfied with our accident rate and are stepping up our safety efforts to meet the goal in 2020.

Reduce chemical accidents with missed workdays to 0 and decrease chemical accidents with the potential for missed workdays by 50% compared to 2015

Corporate entity: Groupwide

Deadline: 2020

Implementation status:

2017 was the first time that the Groupwide goal of “Zero Chemical Accidents Involving Missed Workdays” had been met. This goal was not met in 2018, as three such accidents occurred that year.

The number of all relevant chemical accidents throughout the Group (whether lost workdays were involved or not) dropped from 65 in 2016 to 54 in 2018. The goal to reduce the number of chemical accidents by half by 2020 remains in place.
