The maintained ethical principles of poten tial business partners are a key criterion when deciding which new suppliers to select.
We also obtain our own impression of the conditions through additional visits to suppliers and production sites.
In the reporting year, all the current suppliers for frames, lenses, sunglasses, contact lenses and hearing aids have committed themselves to the Code of Conduct (achieved level: 100%).
No signif icant changes were made in supplier rela tions.
If there are new suppliers for frames, lenses, sunglasses, contact lenses or hearing aids in the current f inancial year, we will have them also commit to our Code of Conduct.
In March, Fielmann began to develop and produce protective glasses to help in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
The protective glasses are produced in line with EN our lab in Rathenow.
Fielmann donated the first 300 hospitals and other medical centres throughout Germany immediately af ter the approvals were issued.
This donation was a token of Fielmann’s gratitude to all doctors, careworkers and their colleagues for their exceptional work, and it also represented a contribution to helping them perform their duties.
We shared the hygiene standards developed with Prof Dr Martin Exner with other companies, as well as our experiences from daily work.
In this way, Fielmann con tributed to protecting people from infection and helped to maintain systemically relevant care work.
definition of generally applicable hygiene rules for German retail.
These rules provide detailed orientation and practical tips for the question of how to operate retail stores while minimising the risk of a coronavirus infection.
Fielmann AG provides healthcare services, is an employer and taxpayer.
The shareholders regard it as their duty to secure the liquidity and the economic sur vival of the company.
The Supervisory Board and the Management Board chose to temporarily forgo part of their salaries.
In addition, the Annual General Meeting approved the proposal not to pay any dividends.
Saving energy and reducing emissions As an internationally active company, we have a responsibility towards the climate.
When running the stores, our production and logistics centre in Rathenow, the Fielmann Academy at Plön Castle or our administrative locations, we assess the energy consumption and take care to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The topic of energy efficiency and environmental protection is deeply rooted in Fiel mann’s strategy and is clearly defined in our organisation.
Furthermore, we use significant amounts of energy to run the Fielmann Academy at Plön Castle, the production and logistics centre in Rathenow, and the administrative offices.
There is a continuous increase in the number of centres and buildings where certif ication governs compliance with specif ic environmental standards.
For example, one of stores in Luxembourg is located in the country’s f irst shopping centre to have been awarded the “BREEAM Excellent” sustainability certif icate.
In many other buildings, the in formation provided is of ten incomplete, particularly with regard to heating.
to sparing resources and making production more sustainable.
To achieve this, we continuously try out new paths: in collection of glasses.
We work with recycled acetate for this collection and pur chase it from a specialist, ISO 14040-certif ied supplier.
We have also developed frames made of bio-based acetate for the Italian market.
We sell them as part of the collezioneMILANO+ collection exclusively in our Milan stores.
Furthermore, we are testing the use of recycled plastic in the production of our glasses cases and cleaning cloths.
In the f inancial year tricity in Germany (previous year: 592) and 157 for gas (previous year: 151).
In these locations, we can calculate the parameters and take the necessary measures.
As far as the others are concerned, we have created systems to collect the f irst datasets.
With over locations and point out the optimisation potential to the owners.
It is already standard to individually compare bills and check their plausibility with regard to consumption.
metre of our stores, of f ices and production sites.
To do so, we mainly invest in tested and reliable services and technical innovations.
Af ter the Management Board set qualitative targets for lowering energy consumption and greenhouse emissions in concrete quantitative targets were evaluated and adopted in 2018 and updated in the annual planning process in the following years.
For energy consumption in stores by 3% and raised this f igure in 2020 to a reduction of 5%.
The data is therefore not suitable as a basis for setting 2021 targets.
As be heavily influenced and subject to fluctuations, neither a forecast nor a target can be set reliably for energy consumption.
We will also use energy consumption into the planning of new store space.
This will make it possible to state concrete targets in the following years.
We aim to reduce harmful COsions caused by our business activities.
For in Germany and to check the other markets to see to what extent such a conversion is possible.
All countries where there are corresponding price of fers should switch to renewable energies by 1 January 2023.
There will be a transitional period for new companies in the Group.
us to consider the entire life cycle of a building that we buy, build or completely renovate.
is hardly possible from an energy perspective, as the majority of the buildings are old and in a complex and often historic building structure, and were bought under preservation orders.
Nevertheless, we work with internal and external experts every time we purchase a property in an ef fort to maintain or improve the energy aspects of the building – if possible even before the purchase, but no later than during the construction phases.
We make sure there is a precise building documentation in order to be able to sustain ably manage the building while it is being used.
The relevant building regulations from the Energy Conservation Ordinance or the Energy Conservation Act are implemented technically, as far as possible.
As part of a cost-benefit consideration, however, we seek to achieve the best possible condition of the building.
The cross-departmental Energy Team further developed the catalogue of measures in process changes.
The Management Board is responsible for the strategy on energy ef f iciency and emissions reduction.
We have implemented a comprehensive collection and reporting system for energy efficiency and emissions.
As part of a systematic approach, all accessible consump tion data is fully recorded.
Besides the technical master data and power require ments for equipment, the measurement documents and time-based analyses of the consumption at individual locations are also included.
The consumption of energy from our own electricity and gas contracts in Germany and Austria is already collected and documented at meter level in a comprehensive reporting system by the central energy purchasing department.
The aim is to also document the data in our other international subsidiaries and, based on the results, to then set the target figures in order to achieve continuous optimisation.
We have initiated a variety of measures in an attempt to improve energy ef ficiency in the stores.
The Fixtures & Fit tings department plays a key role here, as it is responsible for maintenance work, building repairs and rectifying any defects in the stores.
The administrative processing and imple mentation of the required work are based on uniform standards.
For several years now, we have been increasingly using energy-saving LED lamps in an attempt to achieve a sustained reduction in energy consumption.
In 2020, this was done at 57 stores.
event of technical problems that impact a store’s energy consumption, notif ications will be sent systematically and processed centrally until a solution is found.
For many years now, we have been gradually switching the lighting systems in our own buildings and for which we are responsible to energy-saving LED lighting.
This usually includes the general areas, the outside lighting, stairwells, basements, technical areas and garages.
We therefore use renovations, relocations and new openings to install highly ef f icient air conditioning systems.
This resource-efficient plant produces up to the castle’s daily power requirements, while also covering the heating needs.
We also promote the use of public transport, as this can reduce CO 73% compared to using a private vehicle, according to a study by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research Heidelberg.
This represents a contribution to the reduction of CO regions most affected by traffic and emissions.
In the financial year ployees took advantage of this service (previous year: 2,735).
The figure fell because a majority of employees at the Hamburg headquarters worked from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Since employees favourable conditions for leasing company bikes.
In the financial year 2020, 981 employees took advantage of this service (previous year: 790).
At the same time, the over by more energy-efficient models.
With the production and logistics centre in Rathenow, a central warehousing strategy was created which uses consolidation ef fects to reduce the movement of goods and is therefore a classic example of green logistics.
Ef f iciency is increased even further by dynamic route planning.
In addition, we continuously assess new technologies in order to optimise our processes, such as paperless order picking to save on paper.
We also make an ef fort to avoid the use of plastics or to replace them with alternative materials.

In f icient conversions at 32 stores in Germany alone and thereby achieved an 8% re duction in energy consumption per square metre of store space (target level: 100%).
We mainly purchase electricity from the public utility companies in Giessen and Düsseldorf.
The rates have been dif ferent since January 2020 so that we now exclusively use renewable energies in Germany.
For this reason, we have revised our previous detailed depiction to focus on the key f igures for reducing our consumption.
We have also made the transition in Austria, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, and plan to expand this to the entire Group in future.
There is no longer a separation of renewable and non-renewable energies, and the absolute total consumption will always be stated in future with adjustments only being made to determine signif icant consumption per square metre.
reduced consumption due to the more limited utilisation during the coronavirus pan demic.
Overall, there has been a marked decrease in absolute f igures and consump tion per square metre in all areas.
Since December technology of combined heat and power (CHP) in the form of cogeneration units.
This cogeneration of heat and power ensures that the gas used as fuel can be employed much more sparingly and ef f iciently than in separate production processes.
Due to the transition to renewable en ergies, we were able to reduce our electricity-related CO store space to 0 (target level: 100%).
We use the so-called Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standard (GHG Protocol) for our definition.
