Franke Group publishes "edible" sustainability report

The Franke Group, a global supplier of household kitchens, commercial kitchens and the hygiene sector, has published its Sustainability Report 2016. The report describes sustainability efforts, business activities, overall performance and future goals of the Franke Group in the chapters Ecology, Social Responsibility, Economy and Product Responsibility. The edibility of the report is intended to underpin Franke's consistent commitment to the environment. Swisscontent designed and produced the report.

The idea behind the report: On the one hand, the content of the report shows that Franke operates in an environmentally friendly manner. On the other hand, the report should also live sustainability in its form. That is why Franke and Swisscontent designed the publication to be edible. This means that only substances that can be completely returned to the biological cycle were used in the printing process. Thus, the consumption of the report is also harmless. The edibles listed in the report illustrate this concept. "The new concept with the predominant green tones conveys freshness, health, sustainability. And the edibility of the report underlines this philiosophy with a touch of wit," says Gérard Moinat, Senior Project Manager Swisscontent.

In addition to conception and implementation, Swisscontent provided Franke with editorial support. Thus, in addition to BSD Consulting, Swisscontent was jointly responsible for the text production and took over the proofreading of both language versions - German and English. Franke is very satisfied with the product: "We have received many positive reactions to the report," says Kirill Bourovoi, Manager Group Sustainability Franke Group. "The new conceptualization has been very well received."

In accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative

The report meets the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) according to the GRI Standard Option Core. GRI is an internationally independent organization that helps companies, governments and other organizations understand and communicate their impact on critical sustainability issues such as climate change, human rights and corruption. The publication also represents the progress report on the United Nations Global Compact. The mission of the United Nations Global Compact: To mobilize sustainable businesses and stakeholders globally for a better world.
