Our ESG Reporting

We are convinced that long-term economic success can only be achieved if economic, ecological and socio-cultural concerns are reconciled with legal requirements and ethical conduct. In fulfilling our social responsibilities, we are guided by the four pillars of sustainability: governance, economy, ecology and social responsibility.

Our value system

Apleona's social responsibility is based on a value system that is characterized by

the seven core topics on social responsibility, based on DIN EN ISO 26000
the 10 universal principles of good corporate governance, such as those of the UN Global Compact
the framework of the German Sustainability Code (DNK), and
the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)

Social Responsibility

Sustainability status report

We publish an annual Sustainability Report that describes all relevant economic, environmental, social and organizational aspects of our business activities. It covers all of the company's business areas and is intended to provide information on our goals, activities, and the current status of our key economic, environmental, socio-cultural, and organizational issues.

Various standards have been established for sustainability reporting, such as

the German Sustainability Code (DNK)
the GRI and
the Value Reporting Foundation (formerly the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board).

In the past, Apleona has addressed individual aspects of these reporting standards in its status reports, but we have not fully implemented any of these standards. In view of the upcoming implementation of the CSRD, we have decided not to implement any further standards during this transitional period.

Sustainability Status Report 2024

The report provides information on current developments, implemented measures and goals along the four pillars of sustainability: economic, social, environmental and governance. The report provides a comprehensive insight into Apleona's sustainability strategy and is aimed at all relevant stakeholders: Clients, investors, financial market participants and our employees.

In recognition of the international nature of our customers and our organization, the 2024 Sustainability Report is published exclusively in English.
