The Swiss media enterprise Ringier has issued a CSR Report based on the standard of the Global Reporting Initiative GRI. In the report, Ringier provides detailed information on the company’s performance in the areas of environment, society and economy. The Ringier CSR Report is available for reading or download at www.ringier.com/csr.

The Ringier CSR Report 2008 continues a tradition that started in 1992 with Ringier’s first environmental report in Switzerland. The current report is the first one that covers the entire Ringier group and was prepared according to the GRI guidelines. In doing so, Ringier recognizes its responsibility and commitment with regard to environment, society and economy and demonstrates that the company will continue to practice and manage sustainability based on international criteria.

The data were collected across the group, at all sites and in all subsidiaries in which Ringier holds at least a 50% stake. The CSR Report 2008 shows that Ringier’s performance is sound and efficient. Many sites have even delivered a performance that exceeds the requirements of local law. Following this report, a sustainability strategy and a sustainability program will be developed. The company aims to further reduce energy consumption and increase the amount of recycled fibers in paper. Ringier already promotes the use of FSC- or PEFC-certified paper from sustainable forestry.
