Integrated Report

Sustainability is an integral part of everything that we do. Over the last three years, we have demonstrated this through the release of sustainability reports. This year, we have published the first report in an integrated report format with the principles and guidelines from the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). Besides the report, we are presenting the first ESG Indicator Notebook, that gathers together the content concerning the norms and GRI, SASB and TCFD indicators.

The report presents a broad vision of both the financial and non-financial results. It also lays out the advances undertaken that were inspired by the ESG agenda outlined by the public commitment taken on with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Watch the video below to see a summary as well as the complete files.
