Sustainability by conviction, responsibility as a mindset

Responsible corporate governance is one of the principles underlying our actions: all our decisions are guided by the clear objective of considering impacts in economic, ecological and social terms and achieving an appropriate balance of interests.

Our PepVisions

Sustainability, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Environment, Social and Governance (ESG): there are many ways to implement responsible corporate governance. The Peppermint Group has chosen a structure according to ESG criteria.

Our areas of focus are thus divided into Environment (E), Social (S), and Governance (G). With strong visions—our PepVisions—we have set medium- and long-term goals to actively contribute to greater sustainability. We can measure our positive contribution using various metrics across these three areas. The ESG criteria are the key drivers of our sustainability efforts, which we pursue across all our Group companies.

Changing operating conditions in fiscal year 2025

Following the discontinuation of operations at the Zwickau worsted spinning mills as of January 31, 2026, structural changes took place within the corporate group.

This development made it necessary to use adjusted calculation methods for the KPIs in the 2025 fiscal year in order to ensure a realistic and comparable presentation.
