Sustainability Report meets international guidelines

In our third Sustainability Report published in April 2009, we provided supplementary information on sustainability and performance indicators that are not included in the Group Management Report. The report was again prepared on the basis of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines in conjunction with the GRI Sector Supplement for the Logistics and Transport Sector. Based on our own assessment as stipulated by GRI, the Sustainability Report achieved a GRI level of B +, i.e., it fulfils key requirements and provides information that has been verified by independent experts. Our next report – the Corporate Responsibility Report – will be published in the second quarter of 2010 and for the first time will only be available online in electronic form.
