Due Diligence at United   Internet

United   Internet considers meeting its due diligence requirements in relation to sustainability issues to be a top priority, and ensures this via a clear organizational structure. The Group-wide Sustainability Management function coordinates implementation of the relevant processes and principles. Overarching principles are formulated at Group level. These include e.g., sourcing green electricity, plus human rights and environmental due diligence obligations. These core principles are being embedded in the segments’ sustainability work in an iterative process, with the segment management board members being responsible for their concrete implementation and adaptation to specific issues, and for impacts in their business activities. The periodic reporting to the full Management Board and the inclusion of the Supervisory Board ensure the continuous oversight and promotion of sustainability efforts throughout the Group.
