In order to boost the impact of diligent steering, the frequency of collection will be increased going forward. We will gradually expand the core set of sustainability KPIs <a href=\"https:\/\/e3holding.de\/en\/e3-approach\/esg-strategy\/key-performance-indicators\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2256\">(click here for an overview of our established and to-be-established KPIs<\/a>). Group companies are encouraged to define and collect additional KPIs relevant to their individual business models to take account of the respective company-specific context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data serves to enhance internal and external transparency on key fields of sustainability action, supports corresponding decision-making processes at E3 itself and at its group companies, and helps monitor target achievement. The KPIs are an essential part of the business reviews between the E3 holding entity and the general management of the group companies. Starting in 2024, the data will also be used to create annual progress reports on the general ESG impact of E3 Holding and its investments as well as on the additional impact that unfolds as a result of the measures we introduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Re-evaluating sustainability performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep track of progress, we re-evaluate the sustainability performance of each group company every two years, with the due diligence stocktake serving as the starting point. The findings are incorporated into the regular review of target definitions and road maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also re-examine adherence to the E3 exclusion criteria within this bi-annual re-evaluation
