Evaluating ESG impacts and risks

Responsibility for sustainability lies with Clemens Tönnies, Managing Partner of the Premium Food Group. He collaborates closely with Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) Dr Gereon Schulze Althoff to assess and address ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) risks, opportunities, and impacts in alignment with the overarching business strategy. From this, the CSO and his team derive the ESG strategy for Premium Food Group and monitor progress towards ESG goals and objectives. Starting in 2025, we will publish an annual report detailing our progress in compliance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Department heads keep a clear focus on goals

The business units translate these objectives into specific operational strategies and are responsible for achieving the set targets. Together with the Managing Partner and Chief Financial Officer, the responsible managing directors of the business units oversee progress towards ESG goals.
