Economic, ecological and social goals are treated with equal importance. The concept of sustainability is closely related to our business operations.
We are conscious of the responsibility associated with the use of natural resources. We handle our resources carefully and efficiently, always taking into consideration the state-of-the-art technology, minimise as much as possible unavoidable interventions in nature, nurture our employees as best we can and give young people solid training. That is how we remain future-oriented.
For us, acting sustainably and in a socially responsible way means finding responses to new challenges early on. On the one hand, this requires the implementation of innovative solutions at every stage in the value chain, and on the other hand, it means observing global megatrends attentively and assessing their relevance to our business. In this way, responsibility becomes future viability, and thus leads to an increase in corporate value and added value for the Company. Group-wide control of this sustainability strategy is the responsibility of the Board of Executive Directors.
The strategy is integrated into our medium-term planning, affects the whole value chain, at all the Company’s sites, and is shared and lived by all our employees.
Sustainable management at K+S means:
- We have installed a value and compliance system
- We have identified opportunities and challenges
- We have defined measures and goals
- We have integrated the interests of our stakeholders
