Context Analysis

As part of our sustainability strategy, we conducted a double materiality test this time. This test ensures that both the impact of our company on the environment and society and the financial impact of sustainability issues on our business are taken into account. This assessment is conducted jointly by Quality Management and the Management Board. The relevance of the identified aspects is also determined during this exchange. On the basis of this relevance, we have identified the key topics that are highlighted in this report and that characterise our sustainability efforts.

We systematically analyse how our business activities, products and services affect the environment, society and the various stakeholder groups. In doing so, we focus on the environmental compatibility of our products and processes, ensuring safety in the workplace and social responsibility towards our employees and the community. Our customers depend on sustainable and secure solutions. Our innovative products and services are making a significant contribution to minimising negative environmental impacts and increasing occupational safety.

At the same time, we are evaluating the financial implications of sustainability issues for our company. This includes analysing risks and opportunities that may arise from environmental and social factors, such as regulatory changes, market requirements or reputational risks. Our double materiality test helps us make strategic decisions that will promote the long-term value creation and resilience of our company. At the same time, we are also factoring in the expectations of our stakeholders, who are increasingly emphasising sustainable business models and transparent reporting.
By conducting the double materiality test, we ensure that our sustainability strategy is holistic and future-orientated. We are constantly striving to maximise our positive impact on the environment and society and to run our business sustainably and profitably.

Our materiality test, which leads us to our sustainability strategy, yields short-term and long-term goals that can be found in various places in this report. Our five overarching themes – 'Operational environmental protection', 'Sustainability in the supply chain', 'Customer satisfaction', 'DENIOS as an employer' and 'Systematic balance sheets' – combine the aforementioned objectives and form the foundation for our reporting.
