SUSTAINABILITY AT PROSIEBENSAT.1
The ProSiebenSat.1 Group takes an integrated approach to sustainable business practices in order to continuously improve its economic, environmental, and social performance. Our four areas of focus are: Public Value & Corporate Citizenship, Diversity & Inclusion, Climate & Environment, and Governance & Compliance.
The ProSiebenSat.1 Group creates public value by raising public awareness of socially relevant issues - for example, through news programs, feature reports, or advocacy campaigns. As part of our corporate citizenship efforts, we support social initiatives and promote volunteerism in Germany. Diversity & Inclusion are also core values that we promote through accessible offerings such as subtitles and audio descriptions. In the area of Climate & Environment, we aim to become greenhouse gas neutral by 2030. Governance & Compliance lay the foundation for responsible conduct and strengthen trust in our company. Our understanding of success goes beyond financial metrics. We also measure it by how we integrate sustainability into our business operations.
