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
groupwide 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 nongovernmental 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.
