Salzgitter presents first CR report - "Continuity through progress"

Today, Salzgitter AG will be presenting its first corporate responsibility report (CR report) as a supplement to the company’s annual report. The CR report provides condensed information on the ecological, economic and social performance of the group.

The 60-page publication documents the multifaceted engagement of Salzgitter AG in the topic areas of “Strategy & Values", “Markets & Innovation", “Environment & Energy" and “Employees“ and “Society“, as well outlining the group’s basic CR understanding.

The report is intended for shareholders, analysts, employees and potential junior staff. It also addresses customers and business partners, opinion leaders in the political arena and in public institutions, as well as interested members of the general public.

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Leese, Chairman of the Executive Board of Salzgitter AG, commented on the first CR report now issued: “With this report we would like to document our commitment to sustainability that is reflected by many aspects in the positioning of our company: we are progressive and innovative on the markets, rooted in our home region and geared to sustainable structures and growth. This is aptly expressed by the title of our CR report outlining our societal contribution to sustainable development: Continuity through progress.”

Supplemented by more in-depth information and additional data, the report is available on the newly designed CR web site at: www.salzgitter-ag.de/cr/2009/. An English language version will soon be available.
