In introducing this year’s report, CEO Björn Becker remarked on the shifts in reporting requirements – both locally and in Europe – which will change the way the company reports in future, and noted the work already well underway in 2023 to ensure local operations are prepared for mandatory climate-related financial disclosures and European CSRD reporting standards.
“These efforts underscore our dedication to responsible environmental stewardship and position us to lead in sustainable resource management. As always, our focus is firmly on the future,” said Mr Becker.
