About the report
This is Schmitz Cargobull AG’s second sustainability report.
It applies to the financial year 2022 / 23 (1 April 2022 to
31 March 2023) and was published on 23 October 2023.
The previous report was prepared for the financial year
2020 / 21 and was published on 11 October 2021. The next
report is expected to be published in summer 2025. The
report is voluntary and has not been subjected to external
review.
Contents and important changes
This sustainability report describes the progress made by
Schmitz Cargobull with regard to sustainable business.
Compared to the last sustainability report, the report contains
numerous restatements resulting from the further development
of the reporting to meet the requirements of the new
GRI Universal Standards and to prepare for upcoming
requirements (in particular CSRD). We indicate any material
changes in the relevant locations with the note GRI 2-4.
In comparison to the Sustainability Report 2020 / 21, the
range of companies included in the reporting has expanded.
This is a consequence of the further development of our
sustainability reporting as well as the successive alignment
with the consolidated entity from the annual report.
Consolidated entity
In addition to Schmitz Cargobull AG, the consolidated entity
now includes 12 domestic and 37 foreign companies (see
table overview) with a total of 56 sites.
28 companies are excluded from the consolidated entity as
they are not directly related to Schmitz Cargobull’s core
business, do not have any employees or are not majorityowned
by Schmitz Cargobull.
Data recording
The data collection period is the financial year 2022 / 23 as
well as previous years, in some cases. The personnel and
social data was collected centrally by our human resources
department and includes all employees of the companies
and sites consolidated in this report, with the exception of
TSE Trailer System Engineering GmbH & Co. KG with
49 employees.
We currently collect environmental data through manual
queries to our ten companies with production facilities.
These comprise a total of 14 locations. Furthermore, the
environmental data also includes the logistics centre in
Nordwalde as well as the head office in Horstmar.
Editorial notes
For reasons of readability, the language forms masculine,
feminine and diverse are not used simultaneously. Instead,
the generic “they” form is used. All references to persons
apply equally to all genders.
Deviations in the figures may occur in individual cases as a
result of rounding.
All forward-looking statements in this report must be understood
as assumptions which were valid at the editorial
deadline. Actual results, developments or the performance
of Schmitz Cargobull AG may deviate from our prognoses,
estimates and announcements due to unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors.
