GRI index
The Schaeffler Group’s sustainability reporting is conducted in reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. The interactive index, which is available online, shows the indicators that the company addresses in the report and leads users to the report pages containing this information. The Schaeffler Group is committed to the ten principles of the UN Global Compact in the areas of human rights, occupational standards, environmental protection, and anti-corruption measures. The GRI content index therefore also indicates which GRI indicators simultaneously cover one or more of the UN Global Compact principles. Reference will also be made to the company’s respective contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
