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.
Our Approach
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 Operating Companies 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.
