Group non-financial report (CSR report)

Dear shareholders and business partners,

This year’s “non-financial declaration” again provides you with an insight into the various areas relevant to First Sensor. As a mid-sized German company, to date we have found that we are relatively well positioned for these key aspects of business life, and we address many points that are important to our customers, our employees and our investors. However, the integration into the TE Group has allowed this area to take on an entirely new importance and dimensions. First Sensor is now a part of TE’s sustainability strategy and TE’s sustainability strategy applies to First Sensor as well. We therefore strongly urge you to read TE Connectivity’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) report to see for yourselves!

As a result in the change in reporting lines, the threads of sustainability at First Sensor no longer all run internally, as they are now embedded in the larger Group framework. Nevertheless, and this is reflected in the CSR report by First Sensor, we have our own goals and measures, values and an attitude that this report sets out. As a listed company, it is not only our duty to report on this, but also our wish to acknowledge the importance of sustainability and demonstrate transparency.

In preparing this report for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2021, we were once again guided by the format of the German Sustainability Code. However, as in the previous year, we also worked within the framework of the GRI standard; some references in the text therefore refer to this. The CSR report by First Sensor is published together with the 2021 annual report. Nevertheless, it is conceived as a self-contained report, which makes no reference to passages of the annual report. On the one hand, this complies with the format of the German Sustainability Code and, on the other, it makes the report more coherent for readers. Thank you for your interest!
