119 GRI Index and Assurance statement Engaged citizen Fair partner Responsible banker Human Capacity Report Sustainability management Overview Foreword In addition, the leading suppliers of the RZB Group, where purchasing is performed centrally, have been surveyed on the following topics since 2015: • Environmental and/or socially relevant certificates for the company and for products and/or services purchased from us • Proceedings due to the infringement of environmental regulations • Indicators on mobility (km/tkm2) 55 percent of suppliers responded to ZHS, while the figure for the RBI Group was 89 percent of the leading 57 suppliers (based on turnover). The results of the surveys show that: • 55 percent of suppliers have environment-related certificates for their company and products and 16 percent of companies hold certificates related to social aspects. • three quarters of suppliers publish their environmental and social data in various ways – mostly in the form of their own sustainability report. • nine suppliers provided data on the tkm 2 traveled for us. • one third of suppliers have entered into a commitment with respect to sustainable aspects (e.g. Work & Family audit, UNGC, Diversity Charter). • one supplier is in proceedings due to the infringement of environmental regulations, but there was no environmental pollution in this case. We see the survey as an important step towards raising further awareness among our suppliers and will continue to conduct it. CDP Since 2011, RBI AG has participated annually in the Carbon Disclosure Project, in which the CO2 emissions of listed companies are surveyed in 60 countries on behalf of investors. This is a non-profit organization (NPO) with the goal of promoting transparency at companies in terms of their goals and strategies and consequently of reducing CO2 emissions. The CDP now administers the world’s largest database of environmental data for listed companies. Of 145 participating companies in the “Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH)” region, the RBI Group is one of 19 companies to have been included on the A-List again in 2016. In order to be added to this list, it is necessary for CO2 reporting (Scope 1 and Scope 2) to be verified, for no relevant CO2 emissions to be excluded from the reporting, and for companies to have set themselves ambitious emissions reduction targets (either in accordance with the science-based target method or the CDP A-List requirements). The RBI Group has been rewarded by CDP for the fourth time in a row for high quality in answering the questionnaire, which reflects a profound understanding of the risks and opportunities associated with climate change (see also page 35). 2 Tonne kilometers or tkm are calculated from the transported mass in tonnes and the distance covered in kilometers.
