Sustainability and voestalpine: The new Corporate Responsibility Report 2019

Corporate responsibility (CR) is anchored in our corporate culture, but it is also an integral part of our corporate strategy. The term refers to corporate responsibility as it is reflected in the effects of business activities on society, employees, the environment or the economic situation. An overview of all (sustainable) activities, figures, data and facts can now be found in the new CR Report.

The annual CR Report summarizes each measure and objective at voestalpine with regard to sustainability and shows how our Group implements its corporate responsibility.

The report covers the following areas:

• Stakeholder and CR management
• Product Sustainability
• Climate protection measures
• Transparency in the supply chain
• Integrity of business management
• Human rights
• Research and development
