ABSTRACT

The KUNERT group of companies offers not only the individual chemical-free natural collections but an entire ecologically optimized range of hosiery. On the quantitative side, there were no significant changes in land stocks. In publishing the current report KUNERT AG is presenting its sixth consolidated group eco-balance. The eco-balance instrument is firmly established in the company and has become a permanent component of the management process. Continuous further development of the methodology will make it more efficient, not only for internal management but also for inter-firm comparisons – "benchmarking". On account of its wide-ranging previous experience, the KUNERT group of companies is still a significant participant in this process and continues to spearhead some individual development lines. Included in these is the further improvement of the concept of environmental cost management. Environmental reporting is also receiving another Europe-wide push boost through the EC ecoaudit regulation.
