Definition of our material sustainability topics

Definition of the material sustainability topics

In 2023, ORIOR Group conducted a double materiality analysis to review and update the key or “material” topics.

Through the process we iden­ti­fied the top­ics where ORIOR has the great­est im­pact on the en­vi­ron­ment, peo­ple and the econ­omy or which pre­sent the great­est risks and op­por­tu­ni­ties for our busi­ness suc­cess. The analy­sis also took into ac­count reg­u­la­tory de­vel­op­ments in Switzer­land and the Eu­ro­pean Union as well as the up­dated stan­dards of the Global Re­port­ing Ini­tia­tive (GRI). The ma­te­r­ial top­ics form the ba­sis of the Group’s sus­tain­abil­ity strat­egy. This process was sup­ported and val­i­dated by an ex­ter­nal con­sul­tancy.​

Impact-focused

The strategic ambitions of “The ORIOR Responsibility” are focused on those sustainability topics where the group can make the most significant contributions to sustainable development. Accordingly, ORIOR's sustainability measures aim to reduce the negative impacts of business activities and strengthen positive effects.​


The following diagram shows at which stages of the value chain the impacts mostly appear. The Group’s sustainability management allows it to anticipate sustainability risks and tackle them proactively to the extent possible. We are aware that the significance of sustainability topics can change over time, e.g. due to changing stakeholder interests. For this reason, we regularly review our strategic fields of activity and make adjustments where necessary.

Stakeholder-oriented

We base our business activities on the expectations of our stakeholders. They support us in setting ambitious goals and achieving them. 


We are in constant communication with our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders through personal discussions and meetings. We receive feedback from consumers via digital media or indirectly via our customers. We are also in contact with other stakeholder groups such as industry associations, authorities, NGOs, trade unions and banks – for example through personal discussions, at conferences or in cross-industry projects.
