ENGEL Sustainability Report 2023 04/ Sustainability management at ENGEL 04/ Sustainability management at ENGEL ENGEL’s core business activities are in the plastic industry. Our industry has faced frequent criticism due to the contamination of the environment and world’s oceans with plastic waste. We seek to establish smart solutions that enable the sustainable use of plastics as a valuable material and thereby contribute to preserving precious resources. For us, it is clear that plastics are part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. Not only is a world with sustainable plastics possible, it is also necessary. You could say that the pioneering role is part of ENGEL’s DNA. True to our sense and purpose “be the first”, we want to take a proactive approach and firmly commit ourselves to the notion of sustainability. Our efforts go beyond our own company: we have set ourselves some explicit goals such as further establishing the circular economy on the market. Together with our customers and suppliers, we have taken steps towards sustainable change and we want to find sensible ways to close the recycling loop for plastic materials. After many years in which we have focused on various activities for sustainable change, we have now developed a comprehensive company- wide sustainability strategy. A big part of our decisions to promote sustainability in our business is based on the DNA of our family-owned company. This includes prudently thinking ahead. Our activities are geared to the pursuit of the principles of sustainable business conduct, with the aim of laying a solid foundation for future generations. How do we succeed? We will employ an intensified strategy process to firmly and permanently anchor our commitment to sustainability in our corporate values. In order to initiate a lasting transformation, we took the first step and implemented a comprehensive process that included the consultation of all stakeholders and identified sustainability targets for our future actions. Our sustainability report is intended to provide honest insights into our processes and lay the foundation for the numerous development steps to follow and for our company’s compliance with future statutory requirements. Sustainability in our organisational structure We started laying the foundations for a sustainable development by establishing a sustainability governance system for ENGEL Holding. This organisational structure not only allows for the setting of sustainability objectives, but also for their targeted and guided achievement. Our Sustainability Department reports directly to the Commercial Management as a staff unit, which takes into account the important sustainable anchoring within the framework of ENGEL’s business success. 24
04/ Sustainability management at ENGEL ENGEL Sustainability Report 2023 The activities of the Sustainability Department are implemented along the principles of the sustainability strategy in close coordination with the Management Board. In this consultation process, the Management Board is the end customer of the sustainability strategy and will also approve it. The management team is also regularly informed about the progress and results of the implemented measures. In order to achieve the best-possible results, some of the involved persons have the opportunity to make relevant suggestions, i.e. the Steering Committee Sustainability or the individual programme areas. The owner also supports the strategy process by prioritising certain topics. This has the positive effect of broadening the management team’s perspective. The biggest bonus: deep insights. This is because the sustainable development is advanced with the cooperation of all stakeholders. At ENGEL, this collaborative exchange is promoted across all levels.
