Recommendations:

(provided by students, how the company should improve its report)

The topics should be better periodized, so that for every external reader it is clear, which topics are of great importance to the company and where the most energy is and will be spent.

Often spoken about strategic management, but some goals aren’t defined in detailed figures, so that a long-term view isn’t possible everywhere. Desirable to show where the company stands and where it wants to go

Same size of pages: Slides have different sizes so scrolling through them, sometimes one has to zoom in and out, make online report responsive and us unique sizes, bigger font, zooming in and out really time consuming

Better Balance: more info on positive and negative developments should be included, mention solved/unsolved problems to learn sthg for future, maybe new SH could help with unsolved things

Supply Chain: Supply chain is not listed at all, Novomatic already had some scandals, because of that + being a player in the gambling industry this process should be made more transparent

Materiality: As Core part of report should be improved, work out connection of material topics to Stakeholders, work on explanation of impact on environment, more facts/transparency than PR
