SUSTAINABILITY AT OTTO

Complying with human rights and environmental due diligence is very important to us at OTTO. In future, we will combine all of our sustainability efforts under the three pillars of “Processes”, “Business” and “Environment” of the OTTO sustainability strategy. In this way, we are creating a uniform and transparent basis and guide for how OTTO handles the issue of sustainability now and in future, what goals we are setting for ourselves, and what measures we are taking to achieve these goals.

sustainable development goals

The 2030 agenda of the United Nations (UN) with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, (SDGs) and the associated 169 sub-goals addresses the current challenges our society is facing in the four areas of “Planet”, “People”, “Peace” and “Prosperity”. We at OTTO view the SDGs as an opportunity and want to actively contribute to solving the global challenges of our time. Nine SDGs were prioritised as part of OTTO's sustainability strategy to which the greatest active contribution can be made.
