HUGO BOSS
Stakeholder Dialog

An ongoing dialog for success
HUGO BOSS has invited to its international Stakeholder Dialog annually since 2016. At the international Stakeholder Dialog, members of management meet with representatives of NGOs and trade unions, along with members of academia, partners, and experts to hold open discussions. This opens up important perspectives that are already being implemented in the sustainability strategy and help us to define the material topics for us..



Cornerstones of strategic sustainability management

The international Stakeholder Dialog of HUGO BOSS gives interest groups and organizations an opportunity to present their perspective of the company’s sustainability work and speak directly with the persons responsible at HUGO BOSS. 

These talks are a major cornerstone of strategic sustainability management at HUGO BOSS. We take the opinions of our stakeholders very seriously. In the past, the stakeholder dialogues have given impetus to important issues. For example, the exchange is used to reposition the company's strategic focus and to reflect the results of the materiality analysis, among other things.

At the Stakeholder Dialog 2023, alongside our new sustainability strategy "FOR A BOLD & BETTER FUTURE", the focus was on the topic of circularity. It is one of the 5 key strategic pillars and an important component of the new sustainability strategy. Together, we explored various perspectives, with a particular focus on design, scalability, and the consumer perspective. The event in Metzingen provided a platform for dialog for approximately 90 experts from NGOs, the capital market, academia, industry peers, and other organizations and partners, as well as HUGO BOSS employees sharing the passion for sustainability.
