Investor Relations

The Investor Relations department of Evotec SE acts as an interface between the Company and the capital markets. Our extensive investor relations work focuses on an active, regular, comprehensive and transparent dialogue with our stakeholders, including shareholders, existing and potential investors, analysts, banks and the financial press. The various interest groups are provided with all important information about the company and have the opportunity to form a comprehensive picture of the company as well as to assess its future development in the best possible way. 

ESG

Sustainability has recently become a more and more important driver in the capital markets. Investors and analysts are increasingly including environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects in their investment recommendations and decisions. Evotec's non-financial performance is already analysed by various rating agencies (including ISS, MSCI and Sustainalytics). An overview of the core ratings and the current valuation is available here. 

In the field of ESG, we are currently focusing on the following topics:

• Re-Assessing our Corporate Carbon Footprint in line with the GHG Protocol in order to fulfil our commitment to set climate targets aligned with the 1.5°C goal of the Science-based Target initiative (SBTi)
• Implementation of a data-driven and web-based ESG data tool
• Strengthen our communication on progress with our stakeholders
• Implementation of sustainability aspects throughout our Company with a strong focus on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) in particular.

For the current financial year 2021, Evotec will further improve its reporting structure and produce a comprehensive sustainability report aligned with standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The sustainability report is expected to be published the same day as the Annual Report 2021.
