Stakeholder Engagement
Fresenius is integrated into a diverse network of interest groups. From this exchange, we gain valuable insights that help us to continuously improve the management of material topics and reporting.
We engage with our stakeholders through a variety of channels. The corporate functions at Fresenius primarily focus on stakeholders who are relevant to the Group as a whole. The business segments actively engage with patients, employees, customers, and regulatory authorities, among others.
For the integration of potentially affected stakeholders in our operating activities, we consider, for example findings from existing due diligence processes and risk assessments in quality, internal employee satisfaction surveys, dialogs with employee representatives and works councils, patient and customer surveys.
An important element of our stakeholder dialogs is our active participation in industry and interest groups, as well as our exchange with business partners. Our employees contribute their expertise to national and international bodies, committees, and associations.
We are committed to observing the codes and principles associated with our membership in various associations. In addition, we disclose all contributions made to healthcare professionals in the companies of Fresenius in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements.
