Key concepts

Value creation process

At Schaeffler India, we believe value creation is focused on optimising value (outcomes and outputs) for our stakeholders. This is a consequence of how we allocate and enhance our ‘capitals’. The capitals are stocks of value that are increased, decreased, or transformed through the activities of the organisation.

Materiality and material matters

We apply the principle of materiality to assess what information should be included in the integrated annual report. We focus particularly on those issues, opportunities, and challenges that impact materially on the ability to create and deliver value in the short, medium, and long term.
