12 CYBERGROUP ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTS When we develop, manufacture and supply products we consider what impact they are going to have on the environment. We look to minimise the impact that they have during their intended lifespan and consider if and how they can be recycled. All businesses want to do the right thing and clients look to us as a leader in our field to make sure that we lead the way in researching and implementing sustainable, recyclable products to represent their brands and be included in their product ranges. With our employees and especially with our trend scouts, we analyze our products not only with regard to topicality and modernity but also with regard to innovation in terms of sustainable materiality. PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT We use key performance indicators to evaluate the impact that delivering our services has on the natural environment and take appropriate steps to reduce it. Thereby pursuing the goal of protecting the environment for future generations to come and to continuously improve environmental performance. ECONOMICAL USE OF RESOURCES AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY We use natural resources conservatively and look to utilise the most up to date and environmentally conscious manufacturing and branding techniques wherever possible. We continually strive to increase the energy efficiency of our services as part of our company CIP policy (continuous improvement process). Our impact on the local environment has been the major consideration and focus when building our new company headquarters in Mannheim. It has allowed us to set new higher standards for ourselves and not be constrained by the past. The ecological footprint should ideally go hand in hand with CO2 neutrality. ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AS THE MINIMUM STANDARD We are committed to be fully compliant with all legal environmental requirements and consider this the absolute minimum standard we should achieve. As a leader in our field we strive to hold ourselves to the highest possible standards. The control of compliance takes place via the legal cadastre. IMPLEMENTATION AND UPDATING OUR PROCESSES We regularly monitor and refine our internal and external processes as well as our organisational structures to further developed our business in an environmentally conscious manner. EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT Consideration of the environment and the impact of our decisions is the responsibility of every employee in the business from the CEO’s, to the management team and the team packing the orders as they leave our logistics centre. We believe that the key to this is transparency, open mindedness and engagement with all employees across the business. This is why we regularly meet to inform our employees about environmental protection measures that we are taking as a group. We also host regular environmentally-oriented training courses to demonstrate how small changes that they make can have an impact and have also implemented a company wide operational, environmentally-focussed suggestion scheme. INVOLVEMENT OF EXTERNAL INTERESTED PARTIES We encourage involvement and open communication with our business partners, the authorities, neighbours and the wider public on how we can all improve the environmental. CONSIDERATION OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN We have invested in the development of detailed compliance standards and have set clear guidelines which suppliers must adhere to in order to work with us. Making sure that our supply chain adopt the same high standards that we demand of ourselves is an absolute priority. For this reason, we regularly carry out environmentally-oriented supplier evaluations and inspections and make our product and process information available to our clients. Mannheim, 22.08.2022
