In the course of GRI reporting in the combined Group Report 2018, we have defined indicators for each topic area. For these indicators, data and information were collected Group-wide and consolidated at Group level. This data is checked internally and externally by an auditing institute. The sustainability software SoFi, which was introduced Group-wide in 2015, provides a comparable database.
Occupational safety is a very high priority at HOCHTIEF: the non-financial performance indicator of accident frequency (LTIFR) was established as a key performance indicator as early as 2015. In the reporting year, the LTIFR for HOCHTIEF was 1.37 (2017: 1.23), due to an increase of the number of accidents in the HOCHTIEF Europe division. Our goal is to reduce this rate to 0.9 by 2030.
