The courage to innovate and the demand for the highest quality have made Vorwerk an internationally successful company with a 140-year tradition. Vorwerk is the number 1 in direct sales in Europe and a global leader in the marketing of high-quality household appliances &#8211; such as the Thermomix\u00ae and Kobold cleaning systems.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainability is a central component of Vorwerk&#8217;s corporate strategy. Particularly in the context of the new regulatory requirements, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (<a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/csrd\/\">CSRD<\/a>), the company is increasingly addressing the ecological and social impact of its business activities. In the course of this development, Vorwerk commissioned DFGE to carry out a <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/double-materiality\/\">double materiality analysis<\/a> for the first CSRD report.[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.icon-with-text-shortcode.icon-text-id-27401efbd6d2e5d57cb78398a9280c46 .text-icon {\n  width: 20px;\n

The CSRD places high demands on the methodology, implementation and documentation of this process. Companies must not only assess their financial and non-financial impacts, but also the risks and opportunities that sustainability issues present for the company. In addition, the results must be documented in a transparent and comprehensible manner.<\/p>\n<p>The materiality analysis required the expertise of employees from different departments at Vorwerk &#8211; from Sustainability and Compliance to Purchasing and Product Development through to Sales and Communications. This interdisciplinary collaboration was essential in order to gain well-founded insights into the key topics and to obtain a comprehensive picture of the company&#8217;s impact, risks and opportunities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>In addition, the direct sales business model entailed specific characteristics: products such as the Thermomix and the Kobold are sold by independent representatives who are not considered employees of the company. This made it necessary to take a close look at the topics of the S2 standard (workers in the value chain). In addition, as a B2C company with a strong brand perception, Vorwerk&#8217;s impact, risks and opportunities in connection with consumers had to be included in the analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-49276a150a95440d4\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-49276a150a95440d4 uvc-7546  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-49276a150a95440d4 h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h2 style=\"--font-weight:theme;\">Solution<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"uvc-sub-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-49276a150a95440d4 .uvc-sub-heading '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;\"><\/p>\n<h3>A structured approach to the goal: The DFGE methodology for double materiality<\/h3>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a150a9544131\" data-id=\"6a150a9544131\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3307\" data-end=\"3454\">DFGE supported Vorwerk over a period of approx. 6 months in close cooperation in carrying out the double materiality analysis.
