ESG Reporting
Marking progress towards a better world
Regular and transparent reporting enables us to monitor progress on our ESG Roadmap to 2030. Our first ESG report was issued in 2013.
We align our strategy, activities, policies and statements with important international frameworks, such as the principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Every year, we report on our progress on these via our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report and compliance report.
ESG Report library since 2013
Our annual ESG Report covers the key activities over the year, important future developments and progress on our ESG Roadmap to 2030.
Below you will find all our ESG reports. Any feedback, comments or suggestions are most welcome.
Alignment with evolving regulatory frameworks
Since the introduction of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), we are implementing and aligning our reporting with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which are the foundation of the CSRD. In the past, we used the guidelines set out in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Non Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) to report on sustainability topics that are critical to Stahl and our stakeholders.
Reporting on what matters (double materiality)
Our first reports we based on the (single) ESG materiality: impact on people and the environment. Since the CSRD, we now include also the financial materiality (double materiality) to assess financial risks and opportunities related to ESG. We use the input from stakeholders (e.g. through our stakeholder survey) to make sure we have a good insight in the topics that matter. The most material topics for Stahl are Climate change, Pollution, Health and safety and business conduct. Our double materiality assessment is available in our ESG report.
Wendel: a long-term investment company
Since 2006, Stahl and Wendel, a French long-term investment company, have been building on our world-leading position in speciality coatings for flexible materials. Each year, the Wendel group publishes their annual financial report (registration document), which offers insights into the achievements and risks of the group, the outlook for the future and our joint sustainability commitments, driven by French laws and regulations such as Sapin II and the Duty of Care, as well as the European directive on reporting: the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), that is now replaced by the CSRD. You can read the Stahl chapter of Wendel’s registration document below.
