Explanation: As part of our stakeholder dialogue, we inform the capital market about our sustainability management activities. This means our sustainability performance is rated by independent third parties.
In financial year 2020/21, METRO was again listed in both the Dow Jones Sustainability Index Europe and World.
As the CDP results were only published in December after the non-financial disclosure had been audited, the CDP rating results shown here differ from the status of the non-financial disclosure.
