Sustainability targets and progress - Gerresheimer

A clear commitment to sustainability

“Our sustainability goals need to be ambitious.”

- Bernd Metzner CFO -

For us sustainability is more than managing emissions and energy consumption

We aim for a balanced and broad scope of our sustainability engagement, while at the same time focusing on what is most relevant to us.

We take care of climate and global warming, using resources in a sustainable manner, developing sustainable products, being a responsible employer and good citizen in our local communities.

Therefore, our sustainability strategy consists of three pillars:

  • GxPure: Taking care of climate and the environment
  • GxCircular: Taking care of resources through sustainable products, responsible supply chain and circular economy
  • GxCare: Taking care for people - for our employees and our impact on society
     

For each of the three pillars we have defined three focus topics for our comitment.

 

By setting concrete goals, target periods and performance indicators, we make our progress measurable. In future, we will report annually on the status of target achievement. In the future, we will report annually on the status of target achievement.
