Our sustainability strategy
In order to improve the effectiveness and scope of our
sustainability management across the whole of RBI,
we published the group-wide sustainability strategy
“We create sustainable value” in 2013. This strategy
consists of nine core action areas within which we
focus our group-wide sustainability management.
In order to systematically address these core areas,
which are also important to our stakeholders, we
continuously seek to improve our sustainability strategy.
In identifying the core action areas, we rely on our
group perspective as well as the perspectives of our
stakeholders, who include our employees, customers,
shareholders and suppliers, as well as non-governmental
organizations and a number of other stakeholder
groups. We carry out a multi-stage materiality analysis
on a regular basis in order to prioritize these fields of
activity. For this reason, as well as for the purpose of making any adjustments to our sustainability strategy, we
place great value on maintaining a dialog with our stakeholders.
