ÖBB Annual Report 2023

Group Management Report 106 Österreichische Bundesbahnen-Holding Aktiengesellschaft Consolidated Financial Statements | Group Management Report 61 The sustainability team at ÖBB-Holding AG is responsible for Group-wide management, coordination and monitoring of the topics of “sustainability” and “climate change mitigation”. The team is responsible for managing cross-company sustainability issues such as climate change mitigation and the circular economy within the Group, and they also coordinate Group-wide initiatives in these areas. The area of responsibility of ÖBB-Holding AG’s sustainability management also includes the creation and further development of the cross-company ÖBB sustainability strategy. Group targets and strategic approaches for the 17 building blocks of the ÖBB sustainability strategy are developed together with the sustainability coordinators of the subgroups and the central component managers. The Group Sustainability platform and existing management structures, such as strategic HR management in the area of social sustainability, are utilised for this purpose. This ensures that the diversity of a mobility and infrastructure company on the topic of sustainability is covered as broadly as possible and that Group-wide focal points and current key topics are defined. Both the development of effective company-specific measures and their targeted implementation are undertaken independently by the responsible subsidiaries. Further improvements in the management of sustainability performance are to be achieved in the coming years. The existing key performance indicator monitoring system is to be developed into an integrated and automated sustainability key performance indicator system for the ÖBB Group over the next few years for this purpose. | MR61 Members of the Executive Board / Managing Directors ÖBB-Holding AG (incl. management and sustainability team), ÖBB-Business Competence Center GmbH, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG, ÖBB-Immobilien GmbH, ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG, ÖBB-Postbus AG, Rail Cargo Group, ÖBB-Produktion GmbH, ÖBB-Technische Services-GmbH Environmental Pillar Social & Economic Pillar NH Communications & Corporate Affairs (Brand & Communication) Core team: Sustainability coordinator of ÖBB-Holding and its subsidiaries incl. the ecological building block managers and nominated works council representative Environmental building blocks of the ÖBB sustainability strategy (Responsibilities 1 ) 1.
