Targets keep us going
We see sustainability as a process of continuous improvement. Targets help us to fulfill this aspiration.
We have defined non-financial performance indicators for our material sustainability topics and linked them to short, medium and long-term targets.
The time horizon for medium-term targets is 2030, while we have set ourselves long-term targets up to 2045 for the particularly pressing issue of climate protection. Our targets are realistic and ambitious at the same time. If we do not achieve our targets, this is an incentive for us to increase our efforts even further - appropriate measures are derived in these cases.

Annual report
Audited information and key figures on sustainability at Siltronic can be found in our current annual report.
The development of the indicators is closely monitored and reported to the Executive Board on a quarterly basis. Selected indicators are linked to the remuneration of the Executive Board.
The following table shows the targets for 2025 and the associated target achievement, as well as the targets for 2026.
