GENERAL STATEMENTS
Strategy, business model and value chain [SBM-1]
Net-Zero focuses on decarbonisation along the value chain and therefore covers aspects associated with climate change mitigation. The biggest driver in terms of emissions is the energy consumption of pro- ducts. Energy – or rather energy efficiency – therefore plays a central role in achieving this objective.
The Zumtobel Group’s corporate strategy re- volves around achieving sustainable growth by focusing on key markets, operational excellence, innovation leadership, strong brands, smart solutions and sustainability. Standing for ‘Environment and Engaged Employees’, the letter E covers environmen- tal and employee issues. The Zumtobel Group’s sustainability strategy comprises the three pillars of Net-Zero, Cir- cular Economy and Partner of Choice.
Purchased materials are another factor that contributes to the company’s GHG footprint.
With regard to the goal of Circular Economy, the Zumtobel Group is
prioritising the use of primary resources and waste prevention. The aim is to develop circular models that facilitate more effi- cient use of materials while simultaneously lowering emissions. Findings obtained are incorporated into product development to achieve the conditions for establishing and scaling up a circular economy as quickly as possible. The third pillar, Partner of Choice , con- cerns all of the company’s stakeholders. The Zumtobel Group strives to provide its workforce with a corporate culture defi- ned by attractive working conditions and equal opportunity. In addition, emphasis is placed on working conditions and the rights of workers in the Zumtobel Group’s value chain. As another key factor for this pillar, solutions offered by the Zumtobel Group are also designed to help customers achieve their sustainability targets arising from both regulatory requirements and their own ambitions. The definitions of terms relating to customers are provided in section “S4 | Consumers and end-users”.
