The main focus in the area of people/social matters was on the implementation of the measures defined in conjunction with the 2004 employee survey, mainly the issues of development opportunities and worldwide job rotation.

The competencies of its employees are an important competitive factor for Geberit. In 2005, the Company conducted for its top management workshops on the subject of management and social skills. Existing promotion programs for junior executives as well as Group-wide employee programs were further improved and expanded. In the year under review, Geberit spent 67,500 hours on the further education of its employees throughout the entire Group.

Sustainability aspects are also increasingly taken into account in the procurement process. In the context of the Group-wide risk management, risk analyses are performed with respect to all new suppliers as well as on an annual basis for the most important existing partners where social and environmental aspects are addressed. A higher risk automatically triggers further measures, such as social and environmental audits, contract amendments or – in extreme cases – the termination of supplier relations.
