AND A PLACE TO STOP

CLIMATE CHANGE

Guided by the principles of sustain-

ability, we actively support en-

vi ronmental and climate protection

in our core business. Our largest

sales company in Europe, KAISER+

KRAFT Germany, took the next

step in climate pro tection in early

2018 by making its entire com-

pany carbon-neutral. This makes

KAISER+KRAFT Germany the

fi rst major B2B direct marketing

company for business equip-

ment to have a fully balanced cli-

mate record.

AND ASSURANCE THAT CHILD LABOR HAD NO HAND IN IT

Child labor is completely out of

the question – and defi nitely not part

of how we do things at TAKKT.

All suppliers are required to adhere to

international labor and social stan-

dards, in particular the ban on child

labor, in the manufacturing of the

products sold by TAKKT. TAKKT has

been an active supporter of the

Global Compact Initiative of the Uni-

ted Nations since the beginning of

2012 and thus stands by the universal

principles of sustainability, inclu-

ding the area of human rights. Since

2014, TAKKT has been one of a few

German companies to achieve the Glo-

bal Compact “Advanced Level”

status.

KEEP CHANGING 2017 | SUSTAINABILITY AT TAKKT

For TAKKT as a direct marketing spe-

cialist for business equipment,

an important part of the value chain

already lies in the procurement of

goods. For this reason, TAKKT places

a strong emphasis on sustainabil-

ity in its supply chain. TAKKT does

this by collaborating with the

internationally recognized EcoVadis

platform. The evaluation allows

the relevant aspects of sustainable

practices to be shown in a trans-

parent manner in the business mod-

els of the suppliers while identi-

fying where there is room for im-

provement.

THIS IS ALL THE BUSINESS EQUIPMENT YOU NEED

vvv

AND THE CERTAINTY THAT YOU HAVE MADE YOUR

PURCHASE WITH FORESIGHT

THIS IS THE LEADING B2B DIRECT MARKETING SPECIALIST FOR BUSI-

NESS EQUIPMENT

vvv

AND A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE TAKE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Social commitment is an important

component in our understanding of

responsible action. TAKKT sees it-

self as a driver of social involvement

and supports local activities. TAKKT

has been working for ecological and

societal issues for many years. We do

this on two levels: On the one hand,

as a company we support institu-

tions and organizations that rely on

external assistance. On the other, we

actively encourage our employees’

volunteer work in social projects and

organizations.

TAKKT is now a leader in its industry in terms of sustainability. What were the main factors behind this success?FELIX ZIMMERMANN: Based on our company tradition of using

resources carefully, at TAKKT we are of the fi rm conviction that

long-term business success is not possible without sustainable

action. For this reason, we began in 2011 to establish sustainabil-

ity as an integral part of our corporate strategy throughout the

Group. With SCORE (Sustainable Corporate Responsibility), we

have rooted a Group-wide organizational structure in the entire

company that allows us to implement measures across all levels

and divisions in day-to-day business and to steer these in a tar-

geted manner.

DIRK LESSING: In my opinion, an important factor in this is that

TAKKT, as an active supporter of the Global Compact Initiative

of the United Nations, has been committed since early 2012 to

responsible corporate management. As part of this, TAKKT has

pledged to uphold the 10 universal principles of sustainability per-

taining to human rights, work standards, environmental protec-

tion and fi ghting corruption, and to ensure their prevalence. With

the last comprehensive Sustainability Report, TAKKT was one of a

few German companies to achieve the Global Compact “Advanced

Level” status again.

CL AUDE T OM A SZE WSKI: Another component is creating

transparency of the results and progress we have achieved. We

developed clear parameters in 2011 as part of our sustainability

strategy. That allowed us to steer our sustainability activities in

a targeted manner over time. Our comprehensive sustainability

reporting is certainly also an important indicator. Our TAKKT sus-

tainability reports have been in accordance with the guidelines of

the internationally recognized standards of the Global Reporting

“WE ARE OF THE FIRM CONVICTION THAT

LONG-TERM BUSINESS SUCCESS IS

NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT SUSTAINABLE

ACTION.” .

HEIKO HEGWEINMEMBER OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD“AS THE BOARD MEMBER

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIGITAL

TRANSFORMATION, THE

TOPICS OF TECHNOLOGY AND

INNOVATION ARE PAR -

TICULARLY IMPORTANT TO ME.”

“ THE PROJECT WORKSPACE

WILL OFFER OUR EMPLOYEES

THE BEST POSSIBLE WORKING CON-

DITIONS THROUGH A MORE

MODERN WORK ENVIRONMENT.”

DIRK LESSING MEMBER OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD“TAKKT HAS BEEN AN

ACTIVE SUPPORTER OF THE UN

GLOBAL COMPACT

INITIATIVE SINCE EARLY 2012.”

“ I AM PARTICULARLY PROUD

THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE

KAISER+KRAFT GERMANY

CARBON-NEUTRAL AT THE BEGIN-

NING OF 2018.”

HEIKO HEGWEIN: As the Board member responsible for the dig-

ital transformation, the topics of technology and innovation are

particularly important to me. We are working hard at TAKKT to

do so by successively expanding carbon-neutral web shops and

also by retaining “digital talents” in the company. For example,

the current Project Workspace at the Stuttgart facility is creating

a new, modern and more attractive work environment to offer

our employees the best-possible working conditions for the long

term.

The topic of carbon emissions is big news right now. How is TAKKT positioned in regard to this?CL AUDE T OM A SZE W SK I: We began early on to create

ISO 14064-1-certifi ed carbon footprints for our major Group com-

panies to ensure the greatest possible transparency for the carbon

emissions along our value chain. We have implemented projects

and measures based on these results in order to sustainably reduce

the carbon emissions that result from this. This has been done

by conversion to LED lighting at our warehouse locations, for ex-

ample. Carbon emissions can only be reduced to a certain extent,

however. This is why we intend to offset our carbon emissions in

our focus areas of marketing and logistics, which cause the highest

carbon emissions, step-by-step by supporting carefully selected

and certifi ed climate protection projects.

Which sustainability challenges is TAKKT currently facing?FELIX ZIMMERMANN: TAKKT views the possibilities opened

up by digitalization as an opportunity to focus more clearly on the

needs of its customers and to provide exactly the products and

services to fulfi ll them. We strive to meet our responsibility as

a company here as well and are confi dent that our sustainability

strategy is a true competitive advantage. We have increased the

effectiveness of customer-oriented marketing by systematically

expanding e-commerce business, while also conserving resources

by signifi cantly decreasing the amount of paper used. In general, at

TAKKT we are of the fi rm conviction that long-term business suc-

cess is not possible without sustainable action. We will therefore

continue resolutely on our path to make sustainability an integral

part of our company strategy.

Thank you for this conversation.

FELIX ZIMMERMANNCHAIRMAN OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD, CEO“WE WILL CONTINUE RESOLUTELY ON OUR

PATH TO MAKE SUSTAINABILITY AN INTEGRAL

PART OF OUR COMPANY STRATEGY.”

“ TAKKT VIEWS THE POSSIBILITIES OPENED

ON THE NEEDS OF ITS CUSTOMERS.”

Initiative (GRI) since the beginning. With the 2017 sustainability re-

port, we are applying the new GRI standards published in October

2016 for the fi rst time. These new standards replace the previous

GRI-G4 standard.

The new TAKKT sustainability strategy is aimed at achiev-ing targets by the end of 2020. How did you develop the new strategy and the new goals?FELIX ZIMMERMANN: In 2016, TAKKT developed its new

sustainability strategy until the end of 2020 as part of a com-

prehensive dialogue with stakeholders. As part of that, the fo-

cus areas that had been defi ned until the end of 2016 – sourcing,

marketing, logistics, resources & climate, employees and society –

were confi rmed once again by the stakeholders. Goals, concrete

measures and projects to be achieved by the end of 2020 were

then defi ned for the individual focus areas.

On which measure of the new sustainability strategy do you want to pay particular attention to?CL AUDE TOM A SZE WSKI: The level of social commitment

among our employees, especially those in the US, which has im-

pressed us for years, has led us to consider how we can better

support and encourage our employees in this. As a result, we

made it our goal to continue to expand the percentage of em-

ployees who have the option of taking paid leave to pursue social

causes in the entire TAKKT Group in order to better live up to our

local social responsibility. It is our sincere hope that a large num-

ber of our employees will utilize this opportunity.

DIRK LESSING: Even if this is not a defi ned goal as part of the

TAKKT sustainability strategy, I am particularly proud of the fact

that we were able to make our largest European sales company,

KAISER+KRAFT Germany, carbon-neutral in early 2018. This

makes KAISER+KRAFT Germany the fi rst major B2B direct mar-

keting company for business equipment to have a fully balanced

climate record. We intend to continue on the path we are on,

to strengthen and maintain our position as a role model in the

industry.

“ IN OUR FOCUS AREAS OF

MARKETING AND LOGISTICS WE

WILL OFFSET OUR CARBON

EMISSIONS STEP-BY-STEP.”

CLAUDE TOMASZEWSKIMEMBER OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD, CFO“WE BEGAN EARLY ON TO

CREATE CARBON FOOTPRINTS

IN ORDER TO HAVE THE

GREATEST TRANSPARENCY OF

OUR CARBON EMISSIONS.”

CODE OF CONDUCT

The United Nations Global Compact is the world’s largest

strategic initiative for socially committed companies and other

interest groups. Like us, they are committed to aligning their

strategies and business activities to the ten universally recog-

nized principles from the areas of human rights, labor standards,

environmental protection and the fi ght against corruption. We

have developed the TAKKT Code of Conduct, which is the guiding

principle for our daily collaboration, based on these principles.

FOR SUSTAINABLE CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

We take responsibility for the entire

life cycle of the products we sell –

from sourcing to their use, including

the disposal of materials and pack-

aging. The excellent quality of our pro-

ducts ensures our customers that

the products will have a long useful

life.

In the course of our digital trans-

formation, e-commerce is becoming

our most important sales channel.

In the traditional catalogue business,

we make sure that resources are

used effi ciently at all steps of the pro-

cess – from catalogue production

to the sending of advertising materials.

Our single-tier direct sales business

model to the end customer gene-

rates signifi cant environmental advan-

tages over multi-tier distribution

systems. At the same time, it allows

high product availability, short

delivery times, adherence to delivery

dates and optimized transport

of goods.

16 | KEEP CHANGING 2017 | SUSTAINABILITY AT TAKKT

Sustainability is not confi ned to the company itself. Especially for

us as a direct marketing specialist with diverse supplier relation-

ships, it is important to consider the entire supply chain.

With the integration of relevant criteria in the existing supplier

evaluation program, we intend to systematically record, document

and improve sustainability in our supply chain. That is why we suc-

cessfully tested the supplier assessment program EcoVadis as

early as 2013 and rolled it out in our Group in the following years.

After having achieved a signifi cant sourcing volume from certifi ed

suppliers by 2016, we also intend to achieve a signifi cant share of

certifi ed direct imports. By the end of 2017, we have already reached

our target range of 30 – 40 % direct imports sourcing volume from

certifi ed suppliers. In addition to supplier certifi cation based on

sustainability criteria, TAKKT is also focusing on expanding its

range of sustainable products that meet the highest standards in

terms of environmental impact and sustainability. Wherever possi-

ble, we make use of externally certifi ed products.

A successful example is the range of EUROKRAFT Active Green

products sold by KAISER+KRAFT, for which an environmental per-

formance report certifi ed by the German Association for Technical

Inspection (TÜV) was created; the carbon emissions generated

during production are completely offset. Ratioform offers a broad

range of particularly environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

In the US, NBF offers a range of sustainably produced offi ce furni-

ture in its web shop. Central and Hubert also sell certifi ed products

(for example EnergyStar) that account for a relevant portion of

sales.

PAPER CONSUMPTION PRINT ADVERTISING MATERIALS PER ORDER

Printed advertising material such as catalogues are a key medium

for customer communication in direct marketing. At the same time,

they are responsible for a large portion of TAKKT’s carbon emissions.

This is why TAKKT works exclusively with effi cient and modern

printing houses. Almost all of the paper used to produce the print

advertising materials is from certifi ed resources (FSC / PEFC). TAKKT

is continually improving its customer approach by developing the

business model to a multi-channel approach that combines the clas-

sic catalog mailings with an online shop and – where appropriate –

tele sales and fi eld sales in an integrated manner. By systematically

expanding e-commerce business, the company is increasing the ef-

fi ciency of customer-oriented marketing while also conserving re-

sources because less paper is used. Because we will not be able to

entirely avoid print advertising materials with our multi-channel

strategy, we intend to offset the carbon emissions from these in the

next step. The entire KAISER+KRAFT Group has used exclusively

carbon-neutral print advertising materials since the end of 2017. By

2020, print advertising materials for all other companies will also be

carbon-neutral. In addition to the production of our print advertising

materials, our web shops also generate carbon emissions. By contin-

ually expanding our carbon-neutral web shops, we aim to offset

these carbon emissions in a sustainable manner.

HOW WE ACT | 25

In comparison to multi-tier distribution systems, we avoid emis-

sions with our single-tier direct sales business model because addi-

tional transportation steps are eliminated. Our customers benefi t

from high product availability and adherence to delivery dates. At

the same time, we intend to continuously improve our business

model and ship goods in the most environmentally friendly way

possible. We have been sending carbon-neutral parcels to 15 Eu-

ropean countries since 2012. Parcel shipments in the US are now

also being carbon offset. Our general cargo shipments across the

Group are also being carbon offset gradually in cooperation with

our logistics partners.

HOW WE ACT | 29

We actively support the careful handling of natural resources

and climate protection. We have successfully participated in the

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) since 2008. It aims to make com-

panies’ climate strategies more comparable and to sustainably re-

duce their emissions. In 2017, TAKKT achieved a CDP Climate Score

of “C”, putting it among the top of the participating SDAX com-

panies. We have been recording the carbon footprint of the entire

responsible value chain for KAISER+KRAFT in Germany since 2011

and in six other European companies since 2013. In 2015, certifi ed

carbon footprints in accordance with ISO 14064-1 were created for

Gerdmans in Sweden and for the two US companies Hubert and

Central for the fi rst time. In 2017, we recertifi ed all of our carbon

footprints and created carbon footprints for the fi rst time for our

companies KAISER+KRAFT in Italy and Spain as well as National

Business Furniture in the US. This has enabled us to identify im-

portant starting points to introduce targeted improvement mea-

sures. In addition to the existing quality management systems that

are in accordance with ISO 9001, we intend to gradually introduce

certifi ed environmental management systems in accordance with

ISO 14001 for at least 10 – 13 major companies by the end of 2020.

A fundamental part of certifi cation is the introduction of a con-

tinuous improvement process in environmental management. In

addition to our Scandinavian company Gerdmans and Central in

the US, four major KAISER+KRAFT companies are already certifi ed

according to ISO 14001.

HOW WE ACT | 31

To further reduce energy consumption and limit harmful emissions,

TAKKT is focusing on the areas that show the greatest potential

for savings and improvement. These have been identifi ed through

the introduction of certifi ed energy management systems, among

other ways. An important part of these certifi cations is to establish

a continuous improvement process. The introduction of certifi ed

energy management systems in accordance with ISO 50001, which

was already carried out in 4 companies in 2017, will be pursued fur-

ther until 2020 and implemented in 5 – 8 major companies. In doing

so, TAKKT also intends to reduce energy consumption at German

and US locations by 2020 to 50 – 55 MJ per order.

In 2017, this was at 70.6 MJ per order. For example, our American

subsidiary HUBERT equipped the roof of its central warehouse with

46,000 square meters of solar panels. Its certifi cation according to

the stringent criteria of LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmen-

tal Design) is another confi rmation of this facility’s powerful focus

on sustainability. Furthermore, we reduce energy consumption by

continuing to switch to LED lighting in the central warehouses.

In 2017, the energy consumption at German/ US locations was at

70.6 MJ per order.

HOW WE ACT | 35

TAKKT views the possibilities opened up by digitalization as an op-

portunity to focus more clearly on the needs of its customers and to

provide exactly the products and services to fulfi ll them. To do so,

TAKKT has defi ned a digital agenda in which the central focus area

is “Organization, Management & Corporate Culture”. Investments

in creating new and modern workplaces are helping to develop the

corporate culture in a way that benefi ts the digital transformation.

The expertise of TAKKT’s employees is fostered through targeted

training. The aim is to fi nd “digital talents” and to retain them in

the company in the long term.

TAKKT is convinced of the added value of having mixed manage-

ment teams and considers it a company-wide duty to ensure the

same career development opportunities for women and men across

countries and divisions. The aim of the activities is to increase equal

opportunities through various measures. This includes even greater

objectivity in the recruiting process with the objective of fi nding

at least one female candidate, also for high-level management

positions. Targets were set for the share of female participants in

internal talent development programs. Women are also explicitly

taken into consideration within the scope of succession planning. In

addition, better compatibility of family and work based on individu-

al needs, for example by expanding childcare options and the option

to work from home, should foster an appropriate gender ratio.

HOW WE ACT | 39

Hubert, our subsidiary in the US, has been running the very suc-

cessful “Individual Volunteer Time” (IVT) program for several

years now. In this program, each Hubert employee is encouraged

to dedicate one day per year of paid work time to a social project

of their choosing. The volunteers only have to show that the ac-

tivity is supported by a government-approved institution. A sev-

en-member “Volunteer Leadership Council” (VLC) is named every

two years in order to coordinate other projects across the compa-

ny. The existing council, which employees volunteer to serve on,

decides which monthly project will be supported company wide

and for which projects the donation budget will be used. In ad-

dition, the council records the expenses and time required for all

the social activities. A similar program has also been gradually ex-

panded at German locations since the summer of 2015. The idea

of the “Engage” program is to encourage employees to volunteer

for a social cause. With it, TAKKT intends to provide incentives by

granting special paid leave or time off of one day per person per

year to make it possible for employees to participate in corporate

citizenship activities. Employees have the option of undertaking

self-initiated activities as well as taking advantage of those pro-

vided through recognized external partners. We have expanded

the “Engage” initiative Germany-wide at KAISER+KRAFT and ra-

tioform in 2017. As a result, we were signifi cantly able to increase

the share of employees who have the option of taking paid leave

for local volunteer involvement. Especially the high level of social

engagement at HUBERT in the US has contributed to the fact that

a signifi cant share of employees already took part in local volun-

teer projects.

INDEPENDENT CERTIFICATION

Confi rmation for the section “STATUS 2017” of the report “SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017” of TAKKT AG,

Stuttgart, for the calendar year 2017

To the management board of TAKKT AG, Stuttgart

We have reviewed the section “STATUS 2017” of the report “SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017” of TAKKT AG,

Stuttgart.

The report comprises the period from January 1st to December 31st, 2017. The report was prepared in

accordance with the principles, stakeholder inclusiveness, sustainability context, materiality, complete-

ness, accuracy, balance, clarity, comparability, reliability and timeliness specifi ed in the GRI Standards of

the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI 101 pages 7 – 16). It is the responsibility of the management board of

TAKKT AG to prepare the report. Our task is to provide a confi rmation for the section “STATUS 2017” of the

report “SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017” on the basis of our audit review.

We conducted the audit review on the section “STATUS 2017” of the report “SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

2017” in accordance with the German standards for the audit review of sustainability reports established

by the Institute of German Auditors (IDW).

Accordingly, it is required that the audit review is to be planned and performed in such a manner that we

can preclude with limited assurance, through critical appraisal, that the report section has not in all mate-

rial aspects been prepared in accordance with the underlying principles specifi ed in the GRI Standards of

the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI 101 pages 7 – 16). An audit review is limited primarily to interviews with

personnel of the company and analytical assessments and thus do not provide the assurance that would

be obtained on an audit.

Based on our audit review we did not become aware of any facts which lead us to assume that the section

“STATUS 2017” of the report “SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017” has not been prepared in all material aspects

in accordance with the underlying principles specifi ed in the GRI Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative

(GRI 101 pages 7 – 16).
