Top 20: Germany’s companies with the largest social added value

In this way Continental has been the most successful in its engagement towards
sustainability. Similarly, among the top 20 companies who make a valuable
contribution to their employees and society are large companies operating on an
international scale such as Osram (in 2nd place), Jungheinrich (in 3rd place) or
Siemens (in 6th place).
It isn’t only large, listed companies undertaking environmental, social and economic
responsibility. German medium-sized companies have also shown that they can do
the same, with companies like Elobau, the Allgäu specialist for sensor technology
(4th place), Vivawest, one of the leading housing providers in North Rhine-
Westphalia (5th place) and the Low Saxon fruit and vegetable supplier Meyer
Gemüse (8th place).
The evaluation database from news aktuell and Faktenkontor consist of the 5,000
companies with the largest workforces based in Germany. The current available
sustainability reports or written comments regarding sustainability were analysed
from this pool. The Hamburg Institute of Internal Economics (HWWI) backed the
evaluation academically. The analysis of individual reports is based on the GRI
(Global Reporting Initiative) Standard, which divides responsibility into environmental,
economic and social responsibility, among others, in the sustainability reports.
