We know that we can only be successful as a company if we maintain cordial and cooperative relationships with the various stakeholders in society who are affected by our business operations on the local, national, and international levels. That’s why we place great value on open communication that directly addresses problems, as well as on maintaining a constructive dialogue with all the relevant stakeholder groups. In line with these values Heidelberg Materials will prepare and publish a Public Country-by-Country Reporting for FY 2025 as required by German legislation and EU directive (filing date foreseen by legislation is end of FY 2026). The Public Country-by-country reporting will include information on selected key business, financial and tax information for jurisdictions the Group is active in.
The expectations of our external and internal stakeholders play a key role in the development of our sustainability strategy. We identify these expectations systematically through a materiality analysis and incorporate them into our plans for the further development of our sustainability strategy.
