Our strategic direction for responsible business practices
The EGGER Group takes responsibility for its products, its production, its employees and society. We pursue defined sustainability goals, including in relation to greenhouse gas emissions, resource use and work safety. Our sustainability management is based on a Group-wide strategy. We are committed to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) and have derived five strategic focus areas from them.
We report on our goals, measures and performance. For us, sustainable business means successfully developing the company over generations.
Our basic principles
We conduct business with the aim of developing the company long-term and responsibly, and we take responsibility for our employees.
We consider the impact of our actions on the environment and society and define appropriate goals and measures.
Our wood-based materials consist predominantly of the renewable, valuable raw material wood.

We provide information on the components of our products in our product documentation.
In addition to the applicable legal requirements, we are implementing further measures in selected areas.
We are working on the further development of our products and processes, for example in the areas of greenhouse gas emissions and energy and material use.
Implementation and reporting
Our sustainability management and sustainability reporting follow a fact-based, Group-wide approach. We have set measurable goals in our strategic focus areas. Since 2018, we have reported annually on the status of goal achievement in our sustainability report in accordance with internationally recognised reporting standards. Our reporting is subject to an external audit.

Our strategic priorities
We focus our sustainability management strategy on these five priority fields of action: Good jobs (SDG 8), industrial responsibility (SDG 9), circular economy (SDG 12), climate action (SDG 13) and sustainable forestry (SDG 15). These are the goals where we can set priorities through our business model.
