By establishing a Schüco ESG Board, this goal is now consistently being pursued further with external expertise from the fields of science, business and politics. In so doing, the company is strengthening its focus on holistically sustainable action, as well as its ecological and social responsibility.
Schüco is therefore setting up an ESG Board, which will advise and support the company in future with the ongoing development of its focus on sustainability.
The members of the board will provide new ideas for the company's sustainability strategy and evaluate activities at Schüco with regard to their ecological, social and commercial impact.
“We welcome external assessment. The knowledge and ideas that come out of the discussions between the board members and Schüco will be fed into decision making within our company.”
Andreas Engelhardt, Managing Partner & CEO of Schüco
The Chairman of the Board is Honorary President of the German Property Federation (ZIA), Dr Andreas Mattner. The board also includes sustainability expert Maria Hill, polar explorer Arved Fuchs, former Deputy Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Dr Michael Vesper, and Managing Director of GOLDBECK, Dr Michael Six.
ESG stands for “Environmental, Social, Governance”. In line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) of the European Union, companies will be obligated in future to publish an annual ESG report – depending on the number of employees they have and their turnover.
The Schüco ESG Board was established on 1 July 2024 and therefore in advance of the obligation which begins with the reporting year 2025.
"Schüco has always been a leader in terms of sustainability and in particular recycling. We want to help shape this path successfully."
Dr Andreas Mattner, Chairman of the Board
