SASB Content Index
Geberit uses the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Content Index to provide structured information for investors on SASB-relevant topics. In the industry classification system provided by SASB, Geberit is assigned to the SASB industry standard “Construction Materials”. It covers, among others, companies that produce construction materials, such as plastic materials, for sale to construction firms or wholesale distributors, and that purchase raw materials from the mining and petroleum industries. Geberit offers customers high-quality sanitary products and concentrates on installation and flushing systems for sanitary facilities, piping systems for transporting water in buildings, as well as bathroom systems. More detailed information on Geberit’s main business activities and product range is provided online. The SASB Content Index makes reference to the Geberit Sustainability Performance Report which is presented in accordance with the GRI Standards.
