We. “Acting in the interests of stakeholders”

As part of its sustainability management, HUGO BOSS maintains a continuous dialogue with its stakeholders. The Group sees stakeholders’ diverse expectations and demands as an opportunity to create value for all concerned. For example, in 2014 HUGO BOSS analyzed the needs and expectations of customers related to sustainability issues; and sought an open exchange with investors who give special consideration to sustainability. HUGO BOSS also intensified its ongoing dialogue with scientific institutions, in cross-industry initiatives and in its cooperation with non-government organizations last year, creating a basis for an open and transparent exchange of views on socially relevant topics. This also includes expanding reporting on corporate activities, which the Group disclosed for the first time in 2014 in the sustainability report for 2013.

HUGO BOSS places great importance on integrating the concept of sustainability within the organization. For this reason, in 2014 management included the corporate objectives defined in the fields of action of environment, employees, partners, products and society in executives’ individual target agreements.
