The Board of Directors has delegated the implementation of the sustainability strategy, including the analysis of the company's impact on its environment and, in particular, the implementation of the CO2 reduction path and the analysis of climate risks, to the Executive Board. The latter reports on relevant developments at all ordinary meetings of the Board of Directors.

Key aspects are also set out in the new sustainability guideline and in the Code of Conduct, which is binding for all Group employees. The sustainability guideline describes the understanding of sustainability as well as the key topics and regulates responsibilities.
