Stannol GmbH & Co KG is the first company in the soldering industry to submit a voluntary sustainability declaration as part of the German Sustainability Code (DNK). The report deals with the specific sustainability strategies and measures that the company implemented in 2022. In accordance with twenty defined DNK criteria and performance indicators, Stannol provides detailed information on areas such as resource management, climate-relevant emissions, responsibility and human rights.

The Code was developed by the German Council for Sustainable Development (RNE). It was first appointed in 2001 by the then German government. The Sustainability Code supports companies in developing a sustainability strategy and provides an introduction to structured sustainability reporting. If reports are submitted regularly, the development of the company can be tracked over time.

The Sustainability Code database can also be used to directly compare the reports of the approximately 1,000 companies currently registered. The Code provides guidance on how the CSR reporting obligation and the National Action Plan for Business and Human Rights can be implemented in practice. Users include large and small, public and private companies that are both subject to and not subject to reporting requirements.

"We have decided in favour of voluntary publication in accordance with the German Sustainability Code in order to create the greatest possible transparency and to disclose our activities in the area of sustainability in a structured manner," explains Marco Dörr, Managing Director at Stannol. "We want to establish a professional basis for our reporting and will continue to expand this in the future."

The detailed Stannol DNK declaration can be found in the DNK database in German and English.
