Solution
For Optima, corporate sustainability is more than just climate protection; a framework for all activities in the field of CSR was needed. After DFGE’s consultation, Optima decided to participate in the UN Global Compact in 2014; more than 12.000 participating companies worldwide commit here to respect ten principles in the areas of human rights, working conditions, environmental protection and fight against corruption.
In doing so, participants demonstrate on the one hand their commitment to CSR; on the other hand, UN Global Compact provides them with a framework for a systematically structured sustainability management. Yearly published progress reports urge the participants to stay focused; at the same time, this report can be used as a CSR report which is in accordance with the standards.
