We use this program in order to survey our suppliers. In 2019, we invited 379 suppliers to participate in the CDP Supply Chain Program. These suppliers cover 80 percent of our procurement volume. A total of 204 suppliers took part in the program. They cover 63 percent of the procurement volume (2018: 71.35 percent). Our goal is to cover 70 percent of our carbon-intensive suppliers by 2020. At the same time, we have disclosed our own commitment to climate protection to eight suppliers through this program.

We intend to continue helping our suppliers to reduce their emissions. The first workshops for this purpose were held in 2019 with selected suppliers. Throughout 2020, we aim to further intensify our dialog with suppliers about reducing emissions in our shared value chain.
