Targets keep us going
We see sustainability as a process of continuous improvement. Targets help us to fulfill this aspiration.
We have set ourselves targets up to 2045 for the pressing issue of climate protection. In other areas, we are working with targets up to 2030 and measuring our progress year by year. In the area of safety, our goal is to continuously not exceed a defined number of safety incidents over the years, whereby we are working towards "zero incidents".
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.
