Content and Reporting Standard
When selecting topics, Hochland was guided by the principle of materiality and the central expectations of its stakeholders. The company researched these expectations using an extensive stakeholder analysis, for example by conducting interviews with internal and external stakeholders. The content of the report was also weighted on the basis of the Hochland corporate strategy and industry-specific topics. The relevant challengesand measures are formulated in the chapters Corporate Management, Products, Environment and Employees. The final annex summarizes all the important key figures. The Hochland Sustainability Report 2017 to 2019 complies with the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) »Core« option. It also takes into account the Food Processing Sector Supplement (FPSS). An audit for external confirmationwas not carried out.
