APG|SGA is placing even greater emphasis on sustainability and corporate responsibility and is creating an additional post for this purpose. The new Head of Sustainability is Andres Trautmann. He is responsible for implementing APG|SGA’s Corporate Responsibility Strategy (CRS) and will ensure that the core areas of environmental management and social responsibility are even more firmly geared towards the future.

Andres Trautmann took up his post in November 2022 and will be working intensively at APG|SGA on reducing emissions across the value chain, the further development of climate-neutral products and other CSR issues. He reports directly to the Executive Board, with the role being based within the Finance & International division under CFO Beat Hermann. Mr Hermann says: “With its commitment to the net-zero target, APG|SGA is pursuing an ambitious reduction in CO₂ emissions whilst at the same time persistently driving forward the expansion of sustainable offerings and innovations. I am delighted that, in Andres Trautmann, we have been able to recruit an experienced specialist who brings the knowledge and necessary experience to further develop APG|SGA’s voluntarily high standards in the area of sustainability in a forward-looking manner, for the benefit of the environment and society.”

Andres Trautmann (40) holds a Master’s degree in International Relations and has undertaken further training in sports management and corporate responsibility. He spent around ten years working in various roles in the fields of sustainability and ethics at Swiss Olympic. He has also held advisory roles in the areas of good governance and compliance. His expertise will provide APG|SGA with valuable impetus to address the growing challenges in the field of sustainability in line with international developments, and to ensure meaningful transparency regarding key performance indicators.
