Sustainability understood in a comprehensive definition
– environment, people/social matters, economic
aspects – has traditionally been of major importance to
Geberit and is a key element of its corporate culture.
The issue of sustainability cannot be addressed extensively
in this Annual Report. However, Geberit issued its
first Sustainability Report in 2004. This report will be
published every three years in the future, the next time
in 2007. The Company believes in sustainability as a
major component of corporate value. The report shows
how Geberit is able to successfully combine aboveaverage
economic success with active ecological and
social responsibility. Sustainable entrepreneurship contributed
to strengthening international competitiveness,
diminished the entrepreneurial risk, improved transparency,
enhanced credibility and increased the commitment
of employees. Geberit has set targets for the
future and will report on its achievements in the next
Sustainability Report to be supplemented by topical
information on the internet.
Its long-standing reputation as an environmental pioneer
and socially focused enterprise makes Geberit also
attractive for investors specializing in sustainability and
the environment. The Geberit shares are held by renowned
environmental and sustainability funds as well as
by private investors interested in these issues. Their
ratings for Geberit in terms of sustainability range from
“good” to “very good”. Furthermore, Geberit has been
included in the “Dow Jones Sustainability Index” (DJSI
STOXX) since 2002 and thus is one of the sustainability
leaders in Europe.
