Our first sustainability report

"Following our many years of passion-driven commitment, we now take responsibility for the environment, society and future generations with a comprehensive sustainability strategy.

One outcome of this is our first sustainability report. In this report, we describe our commitment within a new integrated understanding of sustainability, which is based on the three fields of action Environment, Social and Governance.

Equally, this report serves as a chance to take stock and commit ourselves to responsible management. We are determined to build a sustainable future and look forward to taking you with us on this journey."

- Torsten Berding and Joachim Lintemeier, Managing Directors

SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT AT GARANT

Last year, the topic of sustainability was reorganized at GARANT. In 2023, GARANT appointed a sustainability management specialist, who coordinates all our activities and reports to the Group’s Sustainability Management of WINDMÖLLER & HÖLSCHER. Prior to this, all activities related to the environment and sustainability were implemented by a cross-divisional ECOPROFIT project team, which also dealt with the ECOPROFIT recertification process. The ECOPROFIT team is still part of our sustainability organization, acting as a sustainability team that offers regular dialogue and is responsible for decisionmaking.

SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY AND FIELDS OF ACTION

Our sustainability activities are embedded in the W&H Group's sustainability strategy. We are therefore following the common fields of action Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).

You can find information about our common group-wide sustainability strategy on the website and in the sustainability report of WINDMÖLLER & HÖLSCHER:
