Sustainability and social responsibility are closely interrelated and are important subjects for us. Geberit has shown that economic success, acting in an environmentally friendly manner and social balance are not a contradiction in terms. On the contrary, we regard sustainability as an opportunity to go down new roads. The Geberit Group wishes to maintain its top position amongst its competitors in the field of sustainability and thus to continue to be a role model for the industry in future.
Albert M. Baehny, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), in the Sustainability Report 2007
Sustainability has a long tradition at Geberit where it has been a central theme since the early nineties. It influences our strategic orientation and is regarded as a yardstick for thinking and acting in our research and development as well as in our production.
The efforts in terms of sustained corporate management are also being rewarded on the capital market. Geberit is well represented in the - comparatively still small but constantly growing - segment of sustainability share indexes and sustainability funds. In addition, renowned sustainability funds hold the Geberit titles in their portfolios.
Sustainability can only be achieved through dialog with others – with customers, employees, suppliers, companies and organizations from the fields of business, research and society. We have included comments from various individuals active in these circles in our Sustainability Report 2007.
