About the report<br />
This is Schmitz Cargobull AG’s second sustainability report.<br />
It applies to the financial year <strong>2022</strong> / <strong>23</strong> (1 April <strong>2022</strong> to<br />
31 March 20<strong>23</strong>) and was published on <strong>23</strong> October 20<strong>23</strong>.<br />
The previous report was prepared for the financial year<br />
2020 / 21 and was published on 11 October 2021. The next<br />
report is expected to be published in summer 2025. The<br />
report is voluntary and has not been subjected to external<br />
review.<br />
Contents and important changes<br />
This sustainability report describes the progress made by<br />
Schmitz Cargobull with regard to sustainable business.<br />
Compared to the last sustainability report, the report contains<br />
numerous restatements resulting from the further development<br />
of the reporting to meet the requirements of the new<br />
GRI Universal Standards and to prepare for upcoming<br />
requirements (in particular CSRD). We indicate any material<br />
changes in the relevant locations with the note GRI 2-4.<br />
In comparison to the <strong>Sustainability</strong> <strong>Report</strong> 2020 / 21, the<br />
range of companies included in the reporting has expanded.<br />
This is a consequence of the further development of our<br />
sustainability reporting as well as the successive alignment<br />
with the consolidated entity from the annual report.<br />
Consolidated entity<br />
In addition to Schmitz Cargobull AG, the consolidated entity<br />
now includes 12 domestic and 37 foreign companies (see<br />
table overview) with a total of 56 sites.<br />
28 companies are excluded from the consolidated entity as<br />
they are not directly related to Schmitz Cargobull’s core<br />
business, do not have any employees or are not majorityowned<br />
by Schmitz Cargobull.<br />
Data recording<br />
The data collection period is the financial year <strong>2022</strong> / <strong>23</strong> as<br />
well as previous years, in some cases. The personnel and<br />
social data was collected centrally by our human resources<br />
department and includes all employees of the companies<br />
and sites consolidated in this report, with the exception of<br />
TSE Trailer System Engineering GmbH & Co. KG with<br />
49 employees.<br />
We currently collect environmental data through manual<br />
queries to our ten companies with production facilities.<br />
These comprise a total of 14 locations. Furthermore, the<br />
environmental data also includes the logistics centre in<br />
Nordwalde as well as the head office in Horstmar.<br />
Editorial notes<br />
For reasons of readability, the language forms masculine,<br />
feminine and diverse are not used simultaneously. Instead,<br />
the generic “they” form is used. All references to persons<br />
apply equally to all genders.<br />
Deviations in the figures may occur in individual cases as a<br />
result of rounding.<br />
All forward-looking statements in this report must be understood<br />
as assumptions which were valid at the editorial<br />
deadline. Actual results, developments or the performance<br />
of Schmitz Cargobull AG may deviate from our prognoses,<br />
estimates and announcements due to unknown risks,<br />
uncertainties and other factors.<br />
