Our ESG key figures
The main principles and rules governing our actions as well as the standards we set for ourselves in dealings with the ROTO Ecosystem are listed in the ROTO Code of Conduct.
Because we want to make our performance measurable beyond market value and financial performance, we defined eight core themes, incorporating the seventeen UN SDGs, and translated them into KPIs that are embedded in our integrated dashboard. This is how we measure our performance in the following three categories: environmental, social and governance (ESG). It also helps us prepare for the upcoming CSRD reporting requirements, which ROTO will embrace.
Governance
Guidelines for reporting on financial items are determined and explained in the ROTO accounting manual. Each Business Unit is responsible for its own reporting, both on KPIs and financially, for substantiating its achieved results and for its expectations for the year-end results. The results for each Business Unit are discussed during the quarterly business reviews with the Management Board of ROTO and are shared in the quarterly reporting to the Supervisory Board and shareholders.
The Business Unit’s reporting of financial and non-financial results is supplemented by the complete set of consolidated financial figures, including the balance sheet, profit and loss accounts and the cash flow statement. Additionally, the financial position of the company is detailed, encompassing aspects such as cash position, loan and covenant positions, investments made in the reporting period and expected investments for the coming periods. The Supervisory Board and the shareholders meet on a quarterly basis to discuss strategic plans, reported results and expectations for the coming periods. Each meeting is at a different ROTO location. Besides quarterly meetings, additional meetings and visits to ROTO locations are scheduled when necessary.
