For the FMG Group, sustainability is nothing new. Active environmental protection, the growth and advancement of our employees and leaders, and engagement with our neighboring communities and surrounding region have all been fundamental to our corporate policy for many years now.

The strategic sustainability program (presented on pages 164 to 173 of the combined report 2010) provides us with a roadmap for our onward development.

Our aim with this publication is to merge our corporate reporting in order to provide our stakeholders with transparent and comprehensive coverage of the FMG Group’s business, environmental, social and societal performance in a single document. The report combines what used to be our annual and sustainability reports. Our combined report follows the latest guidelines (G3) published by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and received an A+ rating level. The period covered is fiscal 2010.
