Holistic approach to sustainable corporate thinking

Sustainable action constitutes one of the central challenges for the economy in general and medium-sized industrial enterprises in particular. Sustainability is a social obligation, legal requirement and central customer demand at the same time. We are convinced that the company’s long-term future can only be secured if economic, environmental and social aspects are put into practice equally every day within the company.

In order to describe the status quo with regard to sustainability activities within our company and publish objectives and actions for the future, KEMPER publishes a sustainability report with a holistic approach. In this way, we can guarantee a transparent overview for every interest group.

Orientation and compliance with sustainability standards

When reporting on sustainability activities, KEMPER uses the German Sustainability Code for orientation, thereby also covering the criteria of the Global Reporting Initiative. As well as this superordinate standard, general standards also guide corporate activity within the individual sustainability pillars and areas of activity. For example, in the environmental area, KEMPER has an environment management system which is certified to ISO 14001. In the social area, the recognition of the core labour standards of the International Labour Organisation should be mentioned as a component of the underlying standards and norms.

Partnerships/certificates

KEMPER is a member of the energy efficiency and climate protection network WVMplus 3.0.
