Topic of the Year

Our values " Topic of the Year

Zehnder Group has various corporate values. And Zehnder Group is active all over the world. What happens when employees from different countries and different areas of activity come together to discuss their company’s values? The Annual Report 2011 documents four moderated discussions between two different employees each time. These discussions took place in December 2011 in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. They also marked the occasion when an employee from the United States had his first-ever trip to Europe, a Polish employee got to know Switzerland and an employee from Turkey found out, after a long day spent travelling, just how cold winter can get in a small Swedish town. As a way of kick-starting the discussion, each individual brought along an object representing the value to be discussed. The meetings were marked by curiosity and warmth. They also made one thing clear: Zehnder Group’s values are “lived”, irrespective of country or position.

 Switzerland / Poland

Integrity When Paulina Tarnas issued her invitation, she chose as her object a mug symbolizing her home town of Bunzlau in Poland. Pius Merle from Switzerland was delighted to accept Paulina’s invitation, and his choice of object – a dictionary – ensured the best possible preparation.

 Netherlands / USA

Passion American Dave Clouden has been a fan of the Buffalo Sabres since he was a child, and the object he brought along was his ice hockey jersey. Alien Westhuis’ passion is jogging. The object Alien, from the Netherlands, brought along to her discussion was her running shoes.

For Seidou Arouna, a traditional Togolese robe with matching hat symbolizes openness and acceptance towards people who are different. A perfect match for the object chosen by Frenchwoman Muriel Rouxel – a thread, which not only metaphorically but literally binds individual elements together.

Tolerance

 Sweden / Turkey

Respect With her Turkish coffee set, Meltem Talukan almost turned the discussion into a coffee-morning, while Swede Magnus Bladh introduced a mellow groove with his bass guitar.

Chairman’s Review of Operations

 Hans-Peter Zehnder, Chairman of the Board of Directors

" Chairman’s Review

Pleasing results in a challenging environment

Ladies and gentlemen In a year that was dominated by the debt and financial crises, Zehnder Group once again posted very satisfying results. Turbulence in the global economy has so far not had much of an impact on our business. Sales were up sharply once again, passing the EUR 500 million mark for the first time in our history. Despite increased investments in distribution and marketing as well as the roll-out of SAP and the strong Swiss franc, the operating result was in line with the prior year. This is due to several factors, including numerous product innovations, developments in the individual markets, where competition remains fierce, and organizational enhancements. Overall, we were able to maintain our market share almost everywhere and even to expand it in some places.

Sales revenues sharply higher Sales were very positive in the first half of 2011, and this uptrend continued in the second half, with sales ending

the year up 8 % over the prior-year period. We were able to increase sales revenues in most markets, with our three main markets of France, Germany and Switzerland in particular proving to be very stable. In an overall market that saw a modest decline, we were able to expand our radiator business by gaining market share.

 With a significant increase in sales and continued high operating margins, Zehnder Group turned in an excellent performance in a year buffeted by global economic turbulence. The ventilation segment was up even more, which enabled Zehnder Group to further solidify its market position in the reporting year. This segment is meeting the clearly growing demand for energy-efficient solutions that can offer an indoor climate that is as comfortable as

" Chairman’s Review

Beyond Europe, sales were slightly higher at the Group’s North American companies, while in China sales increased substantially with a simultaneous improvement in profitability.

High operating margin maintained Operating income was up on 2010 despite considerable investments in distribution, marketing, development and internal processes. As a result, we were able to maintain the previous year’s high margin of around 10 % in the reporting year. At net income level, the margin was also on a par with 2010 at 8 %. This stable profitability is due in no small part to the strategic initiative set in motion three years ago. The aim of this initiative was to develop Zehnder Group into a full systems provider for comprehensive, optimum indoor climate solutions.

Stable dividend payout ratio In accordance with the long-term policy of generally distributing approximately one third of consolidated net income, the board of directors is proposing to the annual general meeting a par value reduction per bearer share of CHF 1.20 and a dividend of CHF 0.20. The resulting dividend payout ratio for the reporting year is 33 %.

O  n the basis of a successful 2011 and our strong strategic and operational position, we have good reason to be confident about the 2012 business year in spite of the somewhat gloomier economic outlook overall. Our thanks

Balance sheet remains solid

On behalf of the board, I would like to thank our cus­ tomers for their loyalty as well as all employees for their unfailing commitment to our Group. I would also like to thank our esteemed shareholders, who time and again have shown their confidence in us.

The good results for the reporting year can also be seen in the continued solidity of the Group’s balance sheet. The equity ratio was strengthened an additional two percentage points to 59 %. Due to additional investments and the higher distribution, net liquidity decreased from EUR 42.9 million to EUR 31.9 million.

it is healthy. Due to this demand, the ventilation segment now accounts for one third of the Group’s worldwide sales revenues, with the trend still pointing upward.

Optimistic going forward In light of the somewhat gloomier economic outlook for 2012, it is more difficult to predict the trends in our sales markets at this stage than it was in the previous year. Since we have done our homework in recent years as regards both strategy and operations, we expect a further modest increase in earnings in the radiator segment, despite the very difficult economic environment overall, and a sharp rise in sales in the ventilation segment.

Strategy

Market position

In the interests of all stakeholders, Zehnder Group strives to achieve sustainable and profitable growth. The focus is on organic growth, supplemented by acquisitions in line with corporate strategy and by suitable ­cooperation agreements.

Zehnder Group’s objective is to be a leader in all its target markets. In the radiator business Zehnder has for many years been the market leader in numerous countries. In the ventilation sector, too, the company now has a leading market position in many European countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland.

In the radiator sector we focus on higher-end market niches for steel radiators, and in the ventilation segment on energy-efficient systems. Zehnder Group brands stand for innovation, design and reliability. In the final analysis, the strategy is designed to make Zehnder a comprehensive systems supplier, capable of offering customers intelligent all-in packages for heating, cooling and ventilation to provide a healthy and comfortable ­indoor climate.

Vision By 2015 we want to be the leading company in the field of indoor climate solutions – in certain product segments worldwide, and in systems for selected market segments in Europe, North America and China.

“We are committed to a solid work ethic, integrity, honesty and quality. We take care to ensure sustainability in our business ­operations.” – What role does this Zehnder-specific under­ standing of integrity play in your day-to-day work? Paulina Tarnas — This mindset is important, both in dealings with fellow em­ ployees and with customers. It’s about esteem for and loyalty to the company. Pius Merle — In production, I have a responsibility towards the product and towards my team. To me, it goes without saying that you are loyal and that you talk plainly – that you’re honest and fair, basically. P T — Direct contact, that’s the most important thing.   Is there a code of conduct within the company? P M — Each employee has a little card with three points detailing how we should communicate with one another. P T — We also have specific communication rules that apply at every level of the work process. For example: “Always be polite to the person you are dealing with.”   Do you think enough attention is paid to these rules? P M — Yes, we really have taken them on board. And there are rules on feedback. If somebody communicates in a way that’s not right, it’s brought to that person’s attention. P T — With us, too, everybody receives training on how to respect the rules. There’s extra training if things are not clear, or a meeting is held with the person concerned.   Where is integrity-based conduct most important? P T — These principles are important at every ­stage. ­Basically, you should conduct each discussion as if it were with a potential customer. It’s important to show respect and to put yourself in the other person’s situation.   What does integrity have to do with sustainability? P T — Sustainability – that’s the result of how we behave. Only consistent behaviour can lead to success. Behaviour that is dishonest and geared only to the short term is never good. It might be profitable in the short term, but it doesn’t generate value over the long run. P M — It’s a long process. You can’t just be content with the result you achieve early on. You have to always go that bit further. Everything ­changes so quickly. Which is why you only achieve intermediate mile­ stones; you never achieve a final objective. P T — That’s the way I see it as well. You work on yourself and your integrity each day. It’s a process that goes on indefinitely.   Which of the four Zehnder values do you view as the most important? P T — I think all four values are equally important. It’s like a table with four legs – if one is missing, what you’ve got is a wobbly table.   How important is the value of integrity in Switzerland? P M — It can be seen as a characteristic of our system, but it also depends on each and every individual. I think most people strive to abide by values such as reliability and punctuality, and there’s a small minority that doesn’t....   What’s your view in Poland? P T — Polish people are perhaps a bit more easy-going in that ­respect. It’s difficult for us in Poland, for example, to keep up with Switzerland

in terms of values such as solidity and punctuality. For myself personally, I’d rather be a few minutes too early than a few ­minutes too late. And I expect the same from others, from the people I’m dealing with at work, since it’s a matter of respect. P M — Punctuality is also a mark of quality.   What about integrity in the sense of being honest and upright? P M — It’s only once I’ve actually achieved my objective that I can say “Right, I’ve done it – I’ve achieved my objective.” Before that point I don’t know if I will reach the target. I’d never say “I’m finished” if I still needed half an hour to work on something. I have zero tolerance for that. P T — Before the fall of communism in Poland there were a lot of propaganda statements along the lines of “Yes, we can achieve the target of 180 % in three minutes.” There were only state-run factories and no-one looked too closely. ­Today it’s different. There’s much more pressure to say how things really are and to be honest.   What can both countries learn from each other when it comes to integrity? P T — A lot of the characteristics the Swiss have are certainly right and important. But Polish people are different from the Swiss. We are much more ex­ pressive and spontaneous. There are undoubtedly values that we in Poland could work on, such as punctuality for example – that would be beneficial for the country as a whole. But it would not be ­possible, or even worthwhile, to take over everything. Polish people al­ready have a lot of positive values that are highly valued by companies outside Poland. Values such as the desire to work and the ability to work hard – we don’t need to improve on these; we’re already good. P M — What we in Switzerland could improve on is honesty; by that I mean being fair and proper towards work colleagues and fellow ­human beings. There’s room for improvement there. We could do better. And that applies to each and every individual. P T — I think you are either fair and proper, or you’re not. It’s about absolutes. There’s no such thing as “95 % proper” or “95 % incorruptible”. I can’t have just a little bit of integrity. I either have it – or I don’t.

APROPOS   There is no direct equivalent in Polish for the term “integrity”. The word ­“integracja” is semantically close, but is closer in meaning to “integration” than to “integrity”. Other possible trans­ la­tions, such as “prawość” and “uczciwość”, are used to convey the sense of decency, probity, uprightness, honesty – and cover just a fraction of everything that is implied in “integrity”. “Integralność” and “nienaruszalność” tend to be used in a political context. All of which means that the word “integrity” is rarely translated directly in Polish, but is paraphrased instead.

Business Development in 2011

An excellent performance in a tough year " Business Development in 2011

Despite the difficult economic environment in 2011 Zehnder Group increased sales by 8 % and maintained a high operating EBIT margin of around 10 %. The Group also further expanded its market share in the radiator and ventilation segments. Sales higher in most markets Sales were very positive in the first half of 2011, and this uptrend carried over to the second half, with fullyear sales revenues ending the year up 8 % over 2010 at EUR 515.4 million. The somewhat slower growth in the second half of 2011 was due to the base effect brought about by the very strong second half of 2010. The overall increase in sales is all the more gratifying in that ­competition remained tough in the reporting year and the overall economic outlook was a cause for concern. ­Almost every relevant market for Zehnder Group, with just a few exceptions, contributed in varying degrees to this significant growth.

EBIT margin of around 10 % once again In 2010 we were able to return to a double-digit ope­ rating margin after an interval of several years, and in 2011 we just maintained this level at 9.9 %. The strength of the Swiss franc had an adverse impact of around 1 % on the EBIT margin. Operating profit (EBIT) rose by 1 % to EUR 51.1 million year-on-year (EUR 50.4 million in 2010). Net income was EUR 41.1 million (EUR 38.2 million in 2010), with the margin at 8.0 % (8.0 % in 2010). The continued high level of profitability is due to numerous ­product innovations and to the strategic initiative energiZe, which was introduced three years ago and should continue to have a positive impact on earnings over the next few years.

Growth in both segments As in 2010, Zehnder Group was able to expand the ­market share of its radiator business further in 2011 in a number of countries. In an overall market that showed a modest decline, sales in this segment rose by 4 % to EUR 348.2 million (EUR 335.1 million in 2010). We were able to gain market share in particular in our main markets, France and Germany. The radiant heating and ­cool­ing systems business rebounded in 2011, with a very ­dynamic second half of the year in particular.

The ventilation segment followed up on previous years with above-average growth in 2011 as well. Zehnder Group benefited once again from the ongoing trend for energy-efficient solutions. With the exception of the Netherlands and the UK, we posted double-digit growth rates in all of our relevant markets. Sales in the clean air sector were also up significantly, with the Nordic countries dominating. Overall sales for the segment reached EUR 167.1 million (EUR 140.8 million in 2010), an increase of 19 %. The ventilation segment’s stronger growth compared to the radiator sector boosted ventilation’s share of Group sales to almost one third, at 32.4 %. The ongoing ­focused expansion of this segment, along with substantial capital investments, has vaulted the segment into a leading market position in several European countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

 The importance of the ventilation business increased once again in 2011 and now accounts for just under one third of Group sales at 32.4 %. Ongoing progress as a system provider Zehnder Group’s strategy in the radiator segment is focused on high-value niche markets for steel radiators, while the business with energy-efficient ventilation systems is to be expanded organically and through targeted acquisitions. By combining heating, ventilation and cooling, our aim is to be the preferred supplier of all-in packages from one source that can provide energy-efficient solutions for a healthy and comfortable indoor climate. The acquisition of Nest Italia S.r.l. is an important step in expanding our know-how in systems management.

Heating in permafrost

No customer is too far The city of Yakutsk is the capital of Yakutia, a republic located in eastern Russia. Yakutsk is the coldest major city in the world, with tem­ peratures that fluctuate between – 50 °C in win­ ter and + 40 °C in summer. A sport and enter­ tainment centre was built here for the fifth Children of Asia International Sports Games. This is the first building of its kind in the world to be built on pillars on the permafrost. The official opening of the centre, which boasts three re­ markable entrances and an observation tower, is planned for 2012. In June 2011 Zehnder de­ livered 730 m² of radiant ceiling panels, which will keep the building warm in winter and cooler in summer. It was a challenge to get the radiant ceiling panels there, as Yakutsk is more than 9,000 kilometres from the production facility in Lahr, Germany. No railway line or road goes to the city. The city is connected to the outside world in summer by a ferry boat, and in winter only via the frozen River Lena. Despite the con­ siderable difficulty involved, the radiant ceiling panels were delivered on time.

We view this capital spending as laying a foundation that will benefit our sales and earnings in the coming years. It underscores the commitment we have to our vision, which we believe we will be able to realize even in the difficult economic environment expected over the next few years.

 2011 saw an almost 75 % increase in investments in tangible fixed assets, and we plan to increase such investments further in 2012, as they will secure growth opportunities over the long term. The largest investments in 2011 were for the expan­sion of production capacities in Gränichen (Switzerland) as well as the construction of a new plant in China near Beijing for manufacturing radiators and ventilation systems. In addition, we made major investments in Lahr, Germany, in Boleslawiec, Poland, and in Châlons, France. In addition, we have purchased property adjacent to our facilities in Lahr and Gränichen to cover any future expansion. There was a considerable expansion of sales activities. We hired additional sales staff for our ventilation business in Europe, and in the United States, too, we significantly reinforced our sales organization and development staff despite the uncertain economic outlook.

" Business Development in 2011

To work towards turning this vision into a reality, Zehnder Group has for many years been investing considerable sums in areas ranging from development and production, to logistics and IT as well as sales, marketing and distribution. In the reporting year, for example, investments in tangible fixed assets were EUR 34.9 million, almost 75 % higher than in the prior year and amounting to six percent of sales. Additional material investments are planned for the 2012 business year as well.

These measures have produced positive results, with some of these results already visible in the reporting year. As part of our plan to strengthen sales, we have adapted and optimized our organization in line with strategy. In December, Zehnder Group announced it would be increasing the stake it has held since 2006 in the Turkish firm Sanpan Isitma Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd from 51 % to 100 %. The company produces bathroom ra­di­a­ tors for the European market.

New ERP platform in roll-out phase In 2010 Zehnder Group decided to set up a new, joint ERP platform in order to exploit the synergies being ­targeted. SAP was appointed as the partner for this venture and was also given responsibility for implementation. The preparatory work for the start of the pilot projects in Lahr and Gränichen was completed in 2011, and at the beginning of the current business year we introduced the new system in certain sectors in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

Overview of individual markets France In our main market France, the market for electric radiators declined due to new legislation, while the hydronic and bathroom radiator segment increased. Against this backdrop, Zehnder Group was able to noticeably increase sales of radiators and to expand its market share once again, thanks in part to the introduction of various products, including bathroom radiators and a radiator with ventilation for use in low-temperature heating systems. Sales of radiant ceiling panels were in line with expectations. In the ventilation sector we expanded the team and doubled our market share, although we ­started at a relatively low level.

" Business Development in 2011

Germany and Austria As in the prior year, in 2011 Germany, our second most important market, was only marginally affected by the recession in the construction industry. Public-sector construction activity (especially in healthcare and schools) was lower, while commercial-industrial and residential construction increased. The two business segments exhibited at the ISH trade fair for the first time as “one company.” Sales of radiators were slightly higher than in the prior year, while market share increased. Sales of radiant ceiling panels showed a slight increase. We expanded our offering in the heating and cooling systems sector. The ventilation segment posted above-average growth in sales revenues, with a strong increase in market share as well. As a result of this very gratifying development of business, additional employees were hired. The ventilation business was very strong not only in Germany but in Austria as well.

 In our ten largest markets, which represent about 90 % of Group sales, we generated higher sales in 2011, with the exception of the Netherlands. In several cases the increase in sales was in the double digits.

Zehnder Group is market leader. As a result, we posted further strong growth in sales in 2011. Although the growth rate slowed towards the end of the year, the ­ventilation business was still well ahead of the radiator segment. Sales of the ComfoBox, a product family of ­energy centres, were very strong. The new model ComfoBox Apart, which is specially designed for smaller housing units and for refurbishment purposes, was added to the line in the reporting year.

UK and Ireland Zehnder Group was able to achieve a slight increase in sales revenues against the continued backdrop of a very challenging and extremely competitive market and a construction sector in decline. The radiator business did better than the ventilation segment. In particular, the Carboline heating and cooling system (radiant ceiling panels) that was launched in 2010 was well received, as the issue of cooling in public buildings in the UK, such as schools and universities, has received greater attention lately. In addition, Carboline won the CIBSE Building Performance Award 2011. The ventilation business with a focus on the sector of extract air ventilators posted a slightly lower sales yearon-year. The segment had to deal with strong price pressure in particular. In the industrial clean air sector, we were able to increase the orders received once again thanks to an excellent list of references.

Switzerland

Italy

Construction activity in our third most important market remained at a high level. We were able to increase sales in the radiator segment despite strong price pressure. Sales of radiant ceiling panels lagged behind expectations. Here we are facing new competitors from the ­German market.

The economic environment is challenging in light of the political crisis in Italy. The Italian construction market has tumbled more than 20 % over the last five years, with new construction alone down about 40 %. No recovery is expected before 2013. Nevertheless, we were once again able to increase sales overall. We faced stiff competition in the radiator sector; as a result, sales revenues in this segment were below the prior-year level. In contrast, sales of energy-efficient ventilation systems were

Learning in healthy air

A shower of fresh air Our Dutch Group company in Zwolle in the Netherlands has developed, together with the Dutch research institute TNO, a system solution for use in schools in particular. The system is called Comfoschool and combines a ceiling with high sound absorption, a supply air ventila­ tor and an intelligent regulation system for tem­ perature and air quality. The fresh air is filtered, arriving from the outside into the classrooms via holes in the ceiling. Each hole acts as a kind of nozzle out of which a jet of air flows. Thanks to the effect of induction, the fresh air is evenly mixed with the air in the classroom. Comfoschool satisfies the strict guidelines in the Netherlands for an “A” label for air quality, which means the system guarantees that there will never be more than a maximum of 800 ppm of CO2. The Vuurvogel school in Tilburg is a good example of the successful combination of technology and design in a ventilation system.

Major contract for clean air As 2011 came to a close we were able to ce­le­ brate our largest order for a clean air solution. The contract is with the client Royal Ahold NV, a retail group with international operations headquartered in Amsterdam. Ahold operates one of the world’s largest supermarket chains, and in the Netherlands alone it has five major distribution centres. As the company was strug­ gling with dust problems in these centres, the management decided to conduct a detailed cost / benefit analysis, after which it decided in favour of Zehnder Clean Air Solutions. The first distribution centre was fitted out in January 2012. If the tests are successful, the other four centres will also be equipped with the system. The contract includes more than 110 units, mainly of the type E12000. The flim­ mer filter helps achieve drastic reductions in dust particles. The device is equipped with an EC fan as well as a customized control unit, and it is suitable in particular for large volumes of air. Zehnder has to demonstrate that the average amount of dust does not rise above a specific level every day. This order provides us with an excellent reference for obtaining additional or­ ders elsewhere in Europe.

After taking over as market leader in the ventilation ­segment in 2010, we strengthened this position in 2011 through the takeover of Nest Italia S.r.l. in July. This company develops, produces and sells heating and cooling systems for private as well as commercial construction for use both in new build and refurbishment. Nest is a major player in the growing market for radiative cooling and heating. We also plan to distribute this product through our other sales companies in Europe, the ­United States and China.

Netherlands Since radiator sales were unable to match the 2010 level and sales in the ventilation segment remained unchanged, sales volumes overall were just below the prior-year level. The market share of our heat recovery units grew once again even as we raised prices. Our marketing activities in the school segment resulted in a strong increase in the number of projects. The positive trend in the clean air sector also continued as we concentrated our efforts on specific customer groups.

Belgium The sale of the installation business in the ventilation segment for around EUR 6 million at the end of 2010 resulted in lower sales overall. The divestment is in line with the Group strategy to focus rigorously on development, production, sales and service of indoor climate systems. Sales of radiators increased, and the ventilation business saw strong organic growth.

Spain New construction continued to decline in Spain during the reporting year due to the ongoing difficult economic situation. Zehnder Group’s sales of radiators were ­below the prior-year level once again. The decline was ­partially

" Business Development in 2011

offset through sales of moderately priced towel radiators. In the ventilation segment we started activities such as the sponsoring of a conference on passive houses and active participation in conferences on ­energy efficiency.

 Through various adjustments, such as a divestment in Belgium and an acquisition in Italy, we have focused the Group strategy even more sharply on indoor climate systems (energy-efficient heating, cooling and ventilation systems). Eastern Europe A good second half of the year in Poland in particular helped 2011 sales to significantly exceed the prior-year level, both for radiators and for comfort ventilation. We were able to gain additional market share for bathroom radiators. Work on several notable properties, including the national football stadium in Warsaw, gave an additional boost to our reputation. In Russia we once again posted a clear increase in sales.

North America Residential construction in the United States stabilized at a somewhat higher level in autumn, and the number of construction permits increased. Despite the growing signs of improvement, however, the situation is weak compared with the years before the mortgage crisis. Against this backdrop, radiator sales in 2011 were below the level of the prior year. In contrast, the ventilation segment was up sharply, and the headcount was increased.

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

very gratifying. These sales came mostly from northern Italy. Sales were up sharply once again, and our growth was above that of the market average.

China The construction market showed signs of cooling in the second half of the year, as the central bank restricted lending. The slowdown was most noticeable in the major cities. Despite this, Zehnder Group posted a growth rate of 26 %, a result in line with the already very ­gratifying

performance in 2010. We more than doubled our sales revenues in the ventilation sector, where we won several major projects.

In 2011, the marketing of the Runtal brand included the development of a new set of visuals, a revision of the entire catalogue and a redesign of the website.

In 2010 we acquired Shanghai Nather Air Tech Co Ltd., a company that sells ventilation products (extract air ventilators and heat recovery units) for housing construction. The company increased sales, hired additio­ nal employees and expanded its warehousing capacity to be ready for the growth that is expected. In addition, the company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Towards the end of the reporting year the company began to do its own assembly work in the interest of quality control for various products.

Innovation as an extensive management process

Construction on the new production facility outside of Beijing was started in 2010. As at the end of the re­porting year, the building frame had been erected and the painting plant installed. The facility will become ­operational on a step-by-step basis from mid-2012.

Revamping the brand The goal of the brand repositioning that we implemented in 2010 is to make the Zehnder brand the benchmark for indoor climate solutions and to position Runtal as the premium name for radiators. In the year under review, we continued our work on this goal at the international level.

As part of the ongoing optimization of processes and organization, Zehnder has decided to introduce the Japanese philosophy of kaizen throughout the Group in 2012. Kai means change and transformation; zen means changing for the better. In other words, it signifies a ­process of constant improvement. On the basis of this initiative, in 2012 we will expand our existing innovation processes to form an intensive management process which will accompany a product throughout its entire lifecycle, from product management to procurement, production, quality control and logistics, all the way to marketing and distribution. This move should ensure that product introduction going forward is quicker and more target-oriented. The project HarmoniZe, which was realigned at the end of 2011, is aimed at harmonizing and standardizing the development of control systems and units. This project will be continued in 2012 with various sub-projects and will be completed in the second half of the year.

Numerous awards once again We have redesigned our website for the Zehnder brand and introduced it in our most important countries. An international reference database we set up shows clients our solutions from the markets and business areas for use in a wide variety of areas. For the first time we put our new stand concept into practice at ISH, the world’s leading trade fair in “Bathroom, Building, Energy, Air-conditioning Technology, Renewable Energies”. This concept positions our Group as a solution provider for manufacturing, industry and residential construction (new build and refurbishment).

As in the previous year, our product and system innovations received numerous awards in 2011. The awards for radiators are often due to their innovative and functional design, while for the ventilation segment it is primarily thanks to the combination of energy efficiency, comfort and health. In the UK, we won the 2011 Energy-Using Product award from CIBSE with Zehnder Carboline, the radiant heating and cooling ceiling panel system newly launched on the UK market.

Keeping the ball rolling

Heating for the national stadium A new stadium is being built in Warsaw for the European Football Championship in 2012 in ­Poland and Ukraine. It will seat 58,000 specta­ tors and will feature a VIP lounge with room for 800 people. More than 400,000 tonnes of ce­ ment and 11,000 tonnes of steel will be used for construction. For the heating, Zehnder received a contract to install around 1,300 high perfor­ mance Zehnder radiavectors designed to with­ stand high pressure. Most of the radiators are painted a discreet and elegant dark grey, while a few are the colour of sand quartz. The radia­ vectors are encased in a welded grill and thus protected from vandalism. This project is an ex­ cellent reference for the Group, and raises the prospect of more orders from stadium opera­ tors in the future.

Olympic honours

Working hard for top results The 2012 summer Olympic Games will start in London on July 27. The Olympic village will house more than 17,000 athletes and sports of­ ficials. The Olympic village is located in Strat­ ford, in east London, and covers an area of 73 hectares. The construction costs amount to more than GBP 500 million. Once the Olympic Games are over, the village will provide 2,800 new housing units, most of them for low-income housing. Zehnder nova, an elegant customized steel radiator, was the ideal solution to meet the special requirements for comfort. Given the lim­ ited space available in the corridors, the archi­ tect planned for special niches in the walls in which the slender Zehnder nova fits perfectly in the vertical position.

" Business Development in 2011

At the beginning of the year Zehnder received an award for PremiVent, the intelligent ventilation system from Zehnder and profine, in the “Praxis Altbau” competition at BAU München, the leading trade fair for architecture, materials and systems. The Zehnder Avento Neo design radiator, which is particularly suited to low-temperature systems, also won an award in this competition. The Runtal Splash radiator designed by Christian Ghion won the 2011 Interior Innovation Award and was nominated for the German Design Award.

 Zehnder Group once again received various prizes and awards in 2011 in both segments for outstanding design and optimal functionality.

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

We are particularly proud of the award the Zehnder brand received as the Most Innovative Brand in the heating, cooling and ventilation industry as part of the “Plus X Award” in November in Düsseldorf. More than 130 independent jurors from 32 countries made the ­selection. In addition, the jury awarded us prizes for the design radiator Zehnder Fina and the Zehnder ComfoBox Apart, with both products receiving recognition in the category “Best Product of 2011”.

Outlook for 2012

Optimistic going forward " Outlook for 2012

For 2012 Zehnder Group is forecasting a slight increase in earnings in the radiator segment and a sharp jump in sales in the ventilation business, despite the gloomy and extremely uncertain economic outlook. The operating profit margin should be slightly above the prior-year level. Nature of business and subdued economy make forecasts more difficult Detailed statements on the business trend for 2012 are difficult to make for a number of reasons. Firstly, our Group’s business development in the second half of the year impacts strongly on overall development. ­Secondly, there are generally only a few weeks between receipt of an order and shipment. And thirdly, the debt and ­finance crisis and the volatile currency situation will make the current business year a difficult one.

Market outlook mostly positive Zehnder Group will therefore face an even more challenging business environment in 2012 than it did in 2011. The crucial factor will be how the year unfolds in the relevant markets for both the radiator and ventilation system segments. In our largest market France, we are forecasting that sales will continue to move higher. We expect to make progress in Germany as well. In Switzerland we are forecasting minimally higher sales, driven by the ventilation segment, as growth in the construction sector will slow. In the UK market Zehnder Group expects sales revenues to rise, despite no improvement in the UK economic outlook and a modest decline in the construction sector. Italy will continue to be a challenge, as the construction industry is not expected to recover until 2013. In the Netherlands and Belgium we are forecasting an increase in sales. The Spanish market will see another decline in sales revenues due to the ongoing crisis in the country. Following the decline in Poland in 2010 and a positive trend in 2011, we have budgeted an increase in sales in the country for 2012. We are forecasting that growth will continue in Russia as well. For North America we expect sales to rise further in line with the previous year, with the focus on the ventilation segment. Although the Chinese construction sector has experienced some easing in recent months, we believe

that this market, which is attractive for the long term in particular, will see a sharp increase in sales.

Sales up again with high margin Based on these market estimates, Zehnder Group is cautiously optimistic for the 2012 business year, despite the likelihood of an even tougher economic environment overall. As a result, we expect slightly higher earnings in the radiator segment and strong growth in sales once again in the ventilation business. The ventilation segment’s share of Group sales will continue to increase. We expect to gain further market share in both business segments. The operating margin should be slightly above the 2011 level. The substantial investments in distribution, marketing, processes (SAP, logistics) and infrastructure will be continued in 2012, as investments in tangible fixed assets will be about EUR 20 million higher than in the prior-year level. The main focus will be on a new training and administration centre in Evry (France), the new production and development premises in Beijing (China), the new logistics centre in Lahr (Germany), the expansion of production in Gränichen (Switzerland) and the new sheet metal processing centre in Châlons (France).

Well-equipped for the long term The operational improvements in recent years, together with the ongoing expansion of our position as an increasingly integrated provider of energy-efficient solutions for a healthy and comfortable indoor climate, let us look to the future with confidence, even on a mediumterm perspective. Inevitably, the expectations expressed in this report are based on certain assumptions. Should these assumptions later prove to have been incorrect, this would have an impact on these expectations.

How would you define passion? Dave Clouden — I think the easiest way to describe passion is as a desire or a drive to do or achieve something. Some people have this drive; some don’t. I firmly believe that, to be successful, you’ve got to have passion. Alien Westhuis — I think so too. To be successful, you need a goal that you can pursue passionately.   Zehnder Group’s view on passion is: “We are passionate in exceeding our customers’ expectations.” – How does passion feature in your day-to-day work? A W — Ventilation is extremely technical. So for me, passion is less about the product itself and much more in the question: how does the end-customer use our products? Communication with customers is my passion. Alongside that, I also like managing projects and organizing things, drawing a group together and pursuing a common goal. That’s nice work; I enjoy it and it’s what drives me.   What does your work as a sales support manager involve? D C — We try and keep things balanced between the company and the customer. What I’m most passionate about is ensuring that what we do is good for our customers.   What happens if there is not enough passion or commitment? D C — In my work, it would mean that the customer does not benefit from the best possible experience and level of ex­pertise. That can be a problem in particular if the customer has a complaint or wants something we cannot do. Then it’s not only about passing on ­information but also about understanding and being intuitive about what is needed. If there were not enough passion, the customer would ultimately not remain a customer for very long. A W — If I was no ­longer passionate about my work, I’d lose my connection with everything around me, both inside and in relation to the outside world. Ultimately, I probably would no longer have any quality contact with customers. Without passion, I could no longer be as enthusiastic about my work as I am now. And that would show.   Where in your company is passion most important? A W — I’d say it’s equally important every­where. If you are passionate about your own work, you can pass that on to other people, both inside and outside the company. The bottom line is that everyone should be passionate about their work and work towards a shared goal. D C — I agree totally. If people in production are passionate in their work, it makes for a better working environment and you can offer customers first-class, quality products. If people are just doing their job for the sake of doing it, things can go badly wrong.   While researching for this discussion, I called the Swiss Embassy in The Hague. Their reaction was: “Passion? In the Netherlands? Is there such a thing?” A W — That says it all. We tend to be more on the reserved side in the Netherlands. In Dutch, we have a saying: “Act normal – that’s crazy enough.” That’s a typical Dutch expression, and it says so much about how we are.

Dave Clouden   “People are generally ­quite outspoken in the US, and I’d say most people are passionate about something. Whether it be sport, religion or video games – people tend to get deeply involved. In such a big country as the US, where there are so many people spread out over such a huge distance, being part of a group is seen as being something worthwhile.”

" Toleranz

Of course we’re passionate about many things; we just don’t express it in the same way as others.   What are the Dutch passionate about? A W — Sport, football. That’s typically Dutch. All that stuff with the colour “orange” – that’s our passion. That, and ice-skating. Things like that show just how explosively expressive this small ­country can suddenly be. We’re not like that in our day-to-day lives, however.   What’s it like in the United States? D C — People are generally quite outspoken in the US, and I’d say most people are passionate about something. Whether it be sport, religion or video games – people tend to get deeply involved. In such a big country as the US, where there are so many people spread out over such a huge distance, being part of a group is seen as something worthwhile. Like with football fans (American football that is; not soccer). There are 32 teams and everyone has their favourite team. When their team wins, they think they’ve played a key role in the match. A lot of ­Americans are looking for something bigger than themselves. A W — It actually frightens me to hear something like that, but it’s probably my Dutch mentality. We don’t get so involved. My impression is that if you’re that involved, you lose yourself and, ultimately, control. D C — I remember overhearing once a comment made in a conversation ­between a Swiss person and our company. The comment was: “You’re cowboys. You have to think with your head more and less with your heart or your gut...”   What can both countries learn from each other when it comes to passion? A W — What I sometimes find difficult is when you have a great idea and then everyone says: “It’s not ­possible because of this and that.” It would be great if there was more ­enthusiasm for new ideas. D C — And when I think back to some of the goals we have had over the years, they were all great ideas, but we didn’t put them all into practice since we were so caught up in the idea that we forgot about the steps in-between. We need more of the Dutch pragmatism. Alien Westhuis, 37, has been working since 2007 as a marketing and communication advisor at Zehnder Nederland in Zwolle, Netherlands.

APROPOS   In the centre of Zehnder Group’s premises in Zwolle is a courtyard featuring a mosaic created by the employees themselves. When the building was inaugurated in 2003 each individual employee placed his or her own piece in the mosaic to help complete the colourful and eye-catching design. This is a place that stands for team spirit and the commitment of all employees – and was therefore the ideal location to shoot the photo that would represent the value of “passion”.

Sustainability

An integral part of our success " Sustainability

Zehnder Group has a clear commitment to sustainability. Through rigorous innovation geared to the long term, the company makes a substantial contribution to the in­ creasingly important topic of sustainable construction. A sustainable path in a world full of challenges The year 2011 featured a series of extraordinary events across the globe, including the debt crisis and the shift in energy policy. Events such as these show clearly the importance of using financial and energy resources carefully. The construction sector is affected in particular by these challenges, and sustainable construction is grow­ ing in importance. New regulatory initiatives such as the EU directive “Energy Performance of Buildings”, which calls for all new buildings to meet the standards for the lowest energy use in the EU from 2020, are increasing pressure to find wide-ranging solutions that can be put in place now for sustainable construction. With our ­offering of system solutions that are energy-efficient, healthy and comfortable, Zehnder Group is making an important contribution to the drive for sustainable con­ struction. We can reach this goal only through consistent innovation focused on the long run. We are therefore all the more proud that our product philosophy received recognition with the prestigious Plus X Award 2011, win­ ning the title of the most innovative brand in the cate­gory of heating and ventilation. We take a comprehensive view of corporate sustain­ ability. It is an integral component of our strategy, and it allows us to always keep the Group’s long-term focus in view. Zehnder Group has clearly stated its support for sustainability, and in 2011 the Group renewed its values as well as its management and organization principles. The company held discussions and workshops that ex­ tended over several days to gather input and to develop our values and principles. The workshops were broadbased and included several levels of management. After an initial roll-out in 2009, these values and principles will be introduced within the entire Group in the coming year.

Transparency for stakeholders The dialogue with our stakeholders is a major prerequi­ site for being able to react to constantly changing chal­ lenges. Zehnder Group wants to systematically put this approach into place. To this end, for the second time we are including our sustainability performance in the an­ nual report, in accordance with the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This reporting meets appli­cation level C, which was verified and confirmed by the GRI. In addition to sustainable system solutions for the construction sector, the main goals of Zehnder Group in terms of sustainable corporate management are: service and safety for satisfied customers; safe working conditions for skilled employees; the minimi­ zation of the environmental footprint in our production facilities; and responsibility towards the community. We are therefore once again providing detailed reporting on these issues. The information is subdivided into the stakeholders that play a role in our success and have a major impact on our business: customers, employees, shareholders, the environment, suppliers and the com­ munity. We want to publish transparent information on our goals, our performance and our progress, and in doing so improve on an ongoing basis.

Success thanks to simplification Putting the Group’s growth on a sustainable footing is one of the greatest challenges over the next few years. An important factor is the training and developing of our partners so that installers and planners have the spe­ cialist knowledge they need to put in place low-energy solutions. In addition, we are continuing to work on sim­ plifying the installation and servicing of our products, without compromising quality. Only in this way will we be able to achieve our ambitious goals.

A clear commitment to sustainability With over 100 years of experience and as market leader in the sector of healthy and comfortable indoor climate solutions that combine high energy and cost efficiency, the Zehnder Group proves that sustainable manage­ ment and market success go well together. With these initiatives we want to set new benchmarks for the indus­ try with respect to integrating improvements for health, comfort and energy efficiency into system solutions. Zehnder Group is committed to a strong work ethic, ­integrity, honesty and quality. The values and manage­ ment principles that we issued in September 2011 ad­ dress these aspects. They form the worldwide mission statement for the management of our Group.

— We continuously improve our skills and add to our fund of knowledge; we are more than happy to share our ideas, experience and know-how with our customers. Our colleagues — Our dealings with our colleagues are based on trust and mutual respect. We tolerate neither intrigues nor discrimination. — This calls for a fair approach together with open and frank communication. — We are enthusiastic about and totally com­ mitted to our work Our social commitment — We are committed to a high work ethic, to integrity, honesty and quality.

Our Values Our Passion – absolute ­commitment to our customers and employees

— Our business activities are undertaken with a view to sustainability. In our work we are guided by our care and respect for the environment. Moreover, environmental awareness leads to cost savings for our company. Our management principles

Our values can be summed up as follows: Our customers — We make every possible effort to exceed our customers’ expectations. — We are open-minded, have a thirst for know­ ledge and take a genuine interest in other cultures and lifestyles.

— We work together in a personalised and direct way. This requires open mindedness in order to understand and evaluate differing ideas and opinions, as well as a readiness to cooperate proactively with others.

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

Our values have evolved over time, and thus inevitably reflect the company’s Swiss roots. As our values steadily develop further they also support the ongoing remodelling of our company.

— O ur approach in our day-to-day business life is pragmatic and realistic rather than dogmatic, so that our decision taking, too, is realistic and fact orientated. We do not sing our own praises, nor indulge in smooth talk or hypocrisy. We are loyal to and identify with the company. — We invest time and effort in our personnel in order to get to know and to develop them, rather than simply expecting them to deliver.

Our company — Our company is a market leader and we take pride in contributing actively to the Group’s reputation, productivity and efficiency. — We invariably want to provide top performance, to give of our best and to meet our challenging targets. — This naturally includes the right to make ­mistakes, but also the willingness to correct them and learn from them — We are ambitious, foster a spirit of enthusiasm in our daily business activities and strive for sustainable achievements beyond mere transient fads and short-term profits.

Goal of continuous improvement Clearly defined processes and standards are of cen­tral importance to Zehnder Group. The integrated quality and environmental management system applies targets in these areas that are redefined annually and pursued consistently. The continuous improvement in quality and environmental performance is an ongoing task, which is why we rely on our employees’ sense of responsibility. All the major companies in the EU have ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification. At our Manisa facility in Turkey, ISO 14001 certification is anticipated for 2012.

 Innovation powers Zehnder Group. The Group undertakes to continually improve quality and environmental protection, to avoid environmental pollu­ tion and waste, to foster the utilization and conservation of resources, to abide by all relevant legal and other re­ quirements. In the reporting year, there were no signifi­ cant fines payable or infringements of regulations, laws or ordinances in the areas of the environment and quality.

International recognition of our innovative strength Innovation powers Zehnder Group, especially with re­ spect to product development. This innovative strength has also been recognized internationally. In 2011, Zehnder Group won several awards in the Plus X Award, which is the world’s most prestigious innovation prize for tech­ nology, sport and lifestyle products. More than 130 jury members from 32 countries selected the best products of 2011. In addition to the overall award for Most Inno­ vative Brand, the Zehnder Fina design radiator and the Zehnder ComfoBox Apart energy centre won prizes for “Best Product 2011” in their categories. Both products scored impressive ratings in the evaluation categories of innovation, quality, design and functionality. The innovative PremiVent window ventilation system is a cost-effective and complete solution for a healthy and energy-efficient exchange of air for existing buildings. This system received the “Renovation in Practice – Prize for Product Innovation 2011”, which was awarded jointly by the Bundesarbeitskreis Altbausanierung BAKA e. V. (Federal Study Group Refurbishment of Old Buildings), Bauverlag GmbH and Messe München GmbH. The Zehnder Carboline radiant heating and cooling panel won the CIBSE Building Performance Award 2011 in the UK. Zehnder products made a major contribution towards winning the Solar Decathlon in Madrid sponsored by the Rosenheim University for Applied Sciences. The com­ prehensive energy concept of the project building from the Rosenheim team was based on an innovative venti­ lation system with heat recovery for the entire building.

Customers Long-term partnership as goal Our diverse customers are our most important partners in pushing ahead with and rolling out innovative products. Zehnder Group’s main customers are installers, who pri­ marily purchase our products wholesale and then install them for the end-user. An end-user may be a private

i­ndividual or a public sector entity, such as an airport, ­hospital, school or government department. End-users are increasingly better informed, with clear ideas about planning and the selection of products. Planners and ­architects in the fields of heating, ventilation, and indoor climate therefore fulfil an important multiplier function.

friend or colleague. The Internet is used by 86 % of the survey participants to obtain the information they need about the Group, which is a confirmation of our online strategy versus paper. We are aware that the website needs to be made more customer friendly. Plans to make this the case are underway.

Our approach is to foster a close and long-term partner­ ship with our customers. Consequently, local support becomes very important, as this is the best way to take care of the individual needs of customers. It is manda­ tory for our field service engineers to regularly visit in­ stallers to help find optimal solutions.

 Competent training for our customers is important for us as a provider of com­ plex systems to ensure that products are installed correctly and within a proper period of time.

High customer satisfaction regularly reaffirmed We measure the satisfaction of our customers annually, with Group companies undertaking customer satisfac­ tion surveys at local level. In the reporting year, we sur­ veyed 2,880 engineers and installers in Switzerland about support provided by field service and in-house engineers, product innovation and product quality, as well as ease of assembly, availability of products, and product description. In 2011, customers were particu­ larly happy with product quality, product description, after-sales service and the ease of assembly. We saw a considerable increase over the prior year in customer satisfaction regarding delivery times and product avail­ ability. Room for improvement remains, however: 86 % of customers are satisfied with this service (2010: 83 %). Across all criteria Zehnder Group Switzerland achieved a satisfaction rate of 87 %. In the UK, 167 customers were surveyed. Of these, 95 % said that they would recommend Zehnder Group to a

Training and quality for customers Competent training for our customers is important for us as a provider of complex systems to ensure that prod­ ucts are installed correctly and within a proper period of time. In 2011, about 10,800 fitters, service technicians, planners, and installers attended our courses, which last for at least one day. Last year 7,000 took part. The most important training topics were principles and design of ventilation systems, use and assembly of the various units, function and application of ventilation units with heat recovery and the compact energy centre Zehnder ComfoBox 5. Trade fairs also play an important role in client contact. In 2011 we exhibited our Clean Air Solutions at the following events: Transport & Logistik (Switzerland), Industrie- &  Zweckbau (Switzerland), Préventica (France), ISH (Ger­ many), Logistik & Transport (Sweden), Temperature Con­ trolled Storage & Distribution Show (UK), Vakbeurs Bed­ rijf & Logistiek 2011 (Netherlands).

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

 Our approach is to foster a close and long-term partnership with our customers.

The safety and quality of our products are a matter of course for us. Before a product leaves our plant it is subject to detailed function and safety tests. In addition, the internal quality team carries out random checks. Should there be a customer complaint despite these

efforts, the complaint is recorded on a list as a Custo­ mer Improvement Notice. These notices are discussed in weekly management team meetings in order to intro­ duce measures for improvement.

 Zehnder Group employees can and should develop their careers in our constructive work environment. Employees Headcount grows too At end 2011, Zehnder Group offered 3,094 employees worldwide an attractive working environment (2010: 2,945). Of this number, 258 were temporary hires (2010: 246) and 29 were undergoing training (2010: 32). The re­ gional distribution of the workforce was as follows: 2,412 in Europe (2010: 2,311), 217 in the United States (2010: 218) and 465 in China (2010: 416). The percentage of women was 19 % (2010: 18 %), in management 11 % (2010: 10 %). Including employees who left due to retire­ ment, the average fluctuation rate was 8 % (2010: 8 %). To promote growth going forward, we support our em­ ployees in their professional development. Our goal is to recruit the best talent possible.

Targeted promotion and leadership Zehnder Group employees can and should develop their careers in our constructive work environment. The numerous internal and external training programmes that we offer include in particular the areas of sales, IT courses, languages (especially English), job safety and leadership. In addition, several refresher courses on ba­ sic technical knowledge were held locally in the fields of heating, ventilation and indoor climate. Our Group is thus well on its way to being a system provider at all levels. The Zehnder Group Academy is a long-term project set to continue until 2016. In the reporting year we started

an e-learning course in Switzerland in the technical field. The educational concept e-brain, which offers ongoing training through the intranet, will offer employees access at any time to the latest knowledge. Each course participant can set the time and pace of learning them­ selves, which makes the organization more efficient with individual development. With modules for beginners, advanced and professional levels, e-brain is set to start groupwide in 2012 so that by the end of 2013 approxi­ mately 90 % of employees will have successfully com­ pleted their module. In the annual evaluation meetings with employees, de­ velopment and performance goals are defined and ap­ proved. At the end of the year a review is conducted to see if the goals have been achieved, and the annual bonus, if any, is determined. About 95 % (2010: 95 %) of all employees took part in these evaluation meetings at the end of 2011. Zehnder Group put special emphasis in 2011 on the systematic identification and evaluation of persons holding key positions. The evaluation of perfor­ mance and potential supports internal career planning and thus also succession planning at the management level. During 2011 we started to review the processes involved for selecting the suitable recruiting method and the right recruiting sources. In addition, the process for introducing new employees to the job was defined.

Healthy and safe work environment Zehnder Group goes beyond currently valid regulations on work safety and encourages learning within the Group through the exchange of best practice. The local management defines, communicates, trains, and moni­ tors the measures necessary to ensure workplace ­safety and, where required, implements improvements. In the interests of accident prevention, the safe utiliza­ tion of new machines is a major issue and our employ­ ees undergo continual training in order to operate them safely. In the reporting year a total of 85 accidents at work were reported (previous year 79), of which 74 in

Europe (previous year 70), 11 in the US (previous year 9) and 0 in China (previous year 0). Moreover, regular dis­ cussions are held with employees on the issue of health care so that suitable measures can be taken should an employee feel overburdened by his or her workload. Zehnder Group actively manages absences. In addition, several companies support the health of their employ­ ees by subsidizing fitness club memberships as well as offering information events on preventative health topics and onsite doctor appointments.

Employees by function

Turning feedback into action Every two years Zehnder Group surveys its employees on employee satisfaction and on other issues relating to organizational structures, corporate culture, manage­ ment attitudes, targets and performance incentives. The next survey takes place in 2012. Until then, management will define and realize measures for improvement on the basis of discussions with employees. In 2011, for exam­ ple, specific leadership principles were developed, pro­ gressively implemented and then integrated into the set­ ting of objectives in Switzerland on the basis of survey results from 2010. In Germany the focus was on improv­ ing communication with employees, and in particular via the intranet as well as through monthly target informa­ tion in the departments and bulletin boards in the pro­ duction facilities.

Shareholders Without financial success there can be no sustainable development As owners of Zehnder Group, our shareholders are inter­ ested in the financial success of the company. Without the shareholders the long-term existence of the com­ pany could not be guaranteed. In this sense, the inter­ ests of the investors correspond essentially to the inter­ ests of other stakeholders. Zehnder Group is not focused just on short-term earnings or short-term rise in the share price, however. It also pursues a long-term strat­ egy so it can increase the company’s value regardless of the economic cycle. In our view, this is the right strategy for the long-term investor to benefit the most.

Over the past 20 years to end 2011, the value of the bearer share has ­increased by an annual 13 %, taking all corporate events (such as distributions and splits) into account (SPI plus 8 %).

 We maintain a regular and open dialogue with our shareholders and other interested parties on the capital markets. Zehnder Group makes it possible for its shareholders to participate in a substantial way and on a regular basis in the ongoing success of the company. The dividend po­ licy that has been in place for years calls for one third of the consolidated annual results to be paid as a dividend.

Regular and open dialogue We maintain a regular and open dialogue with our shareholders and other interested parties on the capital markets. This duty is primarily the responsibility of the CEO and CFO. Shareholders and other interested par­ ties can obtain the annual and semi-annual reports from us. They are also available on our website along with our press releases and other information. Zehnder Group holds a media and analysts conference at least once a year. Personal presentations and meetings are held with individual shareholders and interested investors as needed. The investment newspaper “Finanz und Wirtschaft” has assigned our shareholder relationship a grade of B+ (with A being the best grade possible) in the three categories of growth, investor relations and transparency.

Environment The system solutions and products of Zehnder Group are significant levers for reducing stress on the environ­ ment. At the same time, Zehnder Group has set the goal

of continually shrinking its environmental footprint in production.

Total system for sustainable construction The trend towards sustainable construction is visible in all areas of activity of Zehnder Group. Whether the stan­ dard is Minergie in Switzerland, LEED in the US or DGNB in Germany: sustainable construction is subject to great­ er regulation throughout the world and is becoming widely available. Optimal energy and resource efficiency as well as high user quality for both new construction as well as modernization and renovation are the hallmarks of sustainable construction. If the focus in buildings is too much on thermal insulation, there is hardly any natural exchange of air. This can lead to increased relative hu­ midity and a lack of oxygen. Hence it is necessary to supply fresh air and extract used air continually, and to provide energy-efficient heat distribution in line with the requirements of the people living in or using the building. Our system solutions combine, in optimal fashion, en­ ergy efficiency, comfort and health. As a complete pro­ vider in the areas of heating, cooling and clean, fresh air, Zehnder enables a building to be operated efficiently, thereby making an important contribution to sustainable, energy-efficient construction.

A detailed analysis of all the thermal recovery units, heat pumps and geothermal heat exchangers manufactured by the Zehnder Group from 2005 to 2011 shows that in total about 2,000,000 MWh of energy was saved and about 540,000 tonnes of CO2 were avoided. All of these energy-efficient categories of equipment reduce the amount of CO2 emitted by about 173,000 tonnes per year. This is equal to the annual CO2 emissions of about 55,000 automobiles at an average rate of fuel consump­ tion and 15,000 kilometres driving per year.

Some examples of newly developed products Heating  Zehnder Group introduced the new models Nova  NEO (New Energy Optimised) and Avento NEO in 2011. These radiators are suitable for use in low-temperature heating systems with heat pumps, where underfloor heating is currently typically used. These heating sys­ tems operate with flow temperatures of less than 30 °C. To ensure that a radiator can generate enough heat at such low flow temperatures, the radiators have ventila­ tors that increase the heat transfer from the radiator to the air in the room. These radiators are therefore well suited for building renovations. In this case, the heat pumps are simply joined to the existing heat distribution system and the old radiators are replaced with Zehnder NEO radiators. Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

ment going forward. As a result, at the end of 2010 we created the function of Head of Group Innovation in order to push ahead with the central coordination of the sys­ tematic inclusion of environmental performance in pro­ duct development. By increasing the cooperation among developers, the learning effects and synergies can be captured and the duplication of mistakes can be ­avoided. We are currently putting in place a Product Life Cycle Management system that will deal with finding an en­ vironmental balance for various new developments in ­order to find the right leverage for high environmental per-formance and quality. For example, the reporting year saw the drawing up of an LCA for the production of radiators in Gränichen, Switzerland.

 The latest generation of cooling units that will be used in Zehnder air / water heat pumps in future uses inverter technology. These heat pumps can be used not only on an on / off basis, but can also be operated with continu­ ously variable speed compressors. Thus the cooling or heating output can be adjusted to current needs and the efficiency of the heat pumps can be kept high across the entire operating area. In contrast, heat pumps with conventional fixed-speed compressors have only one optimal operating point. As a result of this output regula­ tion, the seasonal performance factor and with it the

energy efficiency can be increased by about 20 % to 50 % compared with standard air / water heat pumps with on / off regulation.

to 80 % less energy is consumed. In addition, Zehnder Clean Air Solutions offers a special environmental con­ version service for older E12000 devices.

Cooling  The ceiling heating and cooling systems of the com­ pany Nest Italia S.r.l. – a subsidiary of Zehnder Group since July 2011 – include not only their own radiant ceil­ ing panels but also the entire tubing, heat pumps for heat / cooling, dehumidifiers to prevent condensation as well as controlling for the optimal operation of the entire system. By optimally setting all components, combined with an intelligent control, maximum comfort with mini­ mum energy use is ensured.

Fresh air  With the ComfoBox Apart that was launched in 2011, Zehnder Group offers a heat pump and comfort ventila­ tion solution for buildings on the basis of the Passive House standard, as well as for smaller housing units and for renovations. Comparable solutions (ComfoBox 5) were previously available only for single-family homes and new construction. As a result, the ComfoBox Apart was awarded the Plus X Award as “Best Product 2011” in the area of heating and air conditioning.  We have made significant improvements to the new ComfoAir 160 ventilation unit with heat recovery com­ pared with its predecessor. The unit’s SFP (specific fan power), which is a key to energy efficiency, is less than 0.39 W per m3 / h and is also 3 dB quieter. This SFP level is even well below the one set by the Passive House Institute (SFP level of 0.45 W per m3 / h).

Clean air  Zehnder Clean Air Solutions now uses EC electric motors for its E12000 clean air devices instead of threephase AC electric motors. Since the frequency convert­ er is no longer needed and thanks to the more energyefficient, electronically regulated EC motors, about 75 %

Ongoing improvement in production Integrated quality and environmental management en­ sures that production processes in the individual com­ panies are safe and efficient. The Gränichen site in Swit­ zerland serves as a model, as cooperative learning is encouraged through the exchange of best practice. Through optimized processes on the basis of state-ofthe-art technology, efficiency is boosted and costs low­ ered. In Gränichen we have installed a new oil burner that uses 13,600 fewer litres of oil each year and also saves about 36.1 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Thanks to a new compressor the basic pressure for the production of compressed air has been reduced, resulting in an energy saving of about 8 %. In 2013, the paint plant will be equipped with solar thermal power, which is ex­ pected to result in a 12 % savings in energy and liquefied petroleum gas. Other locations have also undertaken initiatives to make their production and work conditions more environmen­ tally friendly. In the United States, for example, the plant in Buffalo, New York, has a comprehensive recycling ­programme in place for all waste generated at the plant there. Our Polish company has reduced its emissions by more than 78 % compared with the prior year thanks to a dust filter in the polishing phase after a radiator has been copper plated. Targeted actions at our facility in the Netherlands, such as the introduction of reusable pack­ aging and a greater awareness among our employees, have helped to reduce non-recyclable waste by 50 %.

 Other locations have also undertaken initiatives to make their production and work conditions more environmen­ tally friendly. We use our own technology in our buildings. The office building of Paul Wärmerückgewinnung GmbH, a sub­­­­ sidiary of Zehnder Group in Reinsdorf, Germany, has

been certified as a Passive House. Using a heat ex­ changer the company developed itself, it takes used air at the site in order to temper the fresh air. At our com­ pany in Campogalliano, Italy, we have installed a com­ fort ventilation system in the building we moved to at the end of 2010.

Suppliers Solid base of innovative suppliers The high quality and benefits of our products depend on the cooperation we have with reliable and innovative suppliers. Group-wide, Zehnder Group has a business relationship with around 1,500 suppliers (2010: 1,500), primarily from the steel, electronics and plastics indus­ tries. In 2011, the total cost of materials amounted to EUR 189 million (2010: EUR 170 million). Steel is the most important category accounting for 14% of expenditure. This category, along with the other main categories of motors and ventilators, sheet metal and aluminium, is managed with a strategy that is tailored to these cate­ gories.

 In selecting suppliers we place great store on short communication routes and long-term relationships. Zehnder Group is currently working to revamp its global procurement strategy. It will implement the revised strat­ egy progressively over 2012 and 2013. The goal is a sus­ tainable, high-quality and innovative base of suppliers that will allow for an optimization of the cost structure and which will also take into consideration our standards for sustainability and innovation. To reach this goal we set our priorities and focus areas annually. Currently, pro­ duct logistics is one of our top priorities. Except for in the UK and France, Zehnder Group has almost no vehicles of its own. Logistics is almost completely outsourced. We demand a high level of reliability and efficiency from the transport companies we work with. Wherever pos­

Short communication routes, long-term relationships We want to work with business partners who share our values and beliefs. Thus we expect the most important Group suppliers to fill in a three-page questionnaire which, among other things, addresses the inadmissi­ bility of child labour, the observing of environmental standards, ISO 14001 certification, and the handling of toxic materials. Zehnder Group has set a goal to deve­ lop this self-evaluation by suppliers and in a later step to include follow-ups in the process. This project is set to start in the second half of 2012. In selecting suppliers we place great store on short communication routes and long-term relationships. This means that local suppliers are usually also invited to tender.

Community Zehnder Group sees itself as a responsible member of the community. This includes a connection with the re­ gions in which our facilities are located, correct and fair business practices and leadership within the industry

Globally active, locally based Zehnder Group was founded as a mechanical work­ shop 116 years ago and has been managed since then from Gränichen, in the canton of Aargau, Switzerland. The company is regarded as an employer with a longterm perspective. Zehnder Group will continue its ope­ rations in Switzerland, despite the challenges such as a strong Swiss franc. Last year, for example, we acquired additional property near our headquarters in Gränichen for possible future expansion. In addition, we have visi­ bly boosted our local presence through our role as main sponsor of the football team FC Aarau, a team which stands out on account of the impressive way it develops its young talent.

Our investments are based primarily on high standards of quality. For this reason we continued to invest in our facility in Lahr, Germany, where we have purchased ad­ ditional land. Zehnder Group thus remains true to its values and sees itself as a future-oriented employer in areas more lacking in structures such Vaux Andigny, France, and Buffalo, US. We believe having knowledge of the local market is important. That is why we hire local people for senior management positions. Almost all our business unit heads come from the country in which the company is located.

 Our investments are based primarily on high standards of quality­. Clear rules of behaviour, values and principles The Code of Conduct applicable group-wide contains clear regulations regarding such issues as the environ­ ment, health and safety, compliance, fairness, and act­ ing in the best interests of the company. Employees are required to sign it when they agree their employment contract. Consistent compliance with the Code is rein­ forced through regular training sessions and continuous monitoring. Every three years, the entire top management team at­ tends a training session on anti-corruption guidelines. Moreover, every five years all business units are moni­ tored with regard to these issues within the scope of the compliance reviews, which ensures that the stated guidelines are adhered to. So far no case of corruption has been identified. Furthermore, Zehnder Group has never been involved in proceedings arising from any ­violation of competition laws. In the reporting year there were no significant fines or non-financial penalties for infringements of other laws or regulations.

You’ve brought thread with you. Why does this object symbolize tolerance in your view? Muriel Rouxel — In 2008, Acova was split up into the divisions hot water and electric, and one of the terms used in French was “fil” – which means cable, or thread. “Fil” symbolizes the work I do. For me, it also represents a direct, close relationship with others; it stands for bonding with others and holding together as a unit. Thread as a symbol of tolerance is what holds us to­ gether.   What object have you chosen to bring along? Seidou Arouna — This hat, which is a reminder of my African roots. I wear it with pride. I’ve also brought along the traditional robe that goes with the hat. When I meet with other Africans, we all wear them. It’s our tra­ dition, and a sign that we all belong together. When our company held a party in summer, I brought my entire family, wearing these clothes. It was lovely. M R — What sort of material is that? S A — It’s a special mix that you can sometimes find in ­Germany, too. M R — It’s a very long robe... Is it specially for men? S A — Yes. There are some for women, of course, but they have ­different prints. M R — Is it something you’d be happy to wear every day? S A — Every day? No, it’d be difficult for work. They were everyday wear for my grand­ parents, but today they’re more for special occa­sions. Whenever there’s a celebration or party, you have to have such an outfit. Abso­ lutely. M R — Because it wouldn’t be tolerated if you didn’t wear it? S A — Absolutely!   How would you personally ­define tolerance as a value? M R — For me, tolerance means ­accepting difference. S A — That’s right. Basically, tolerance means ­accepting ­someone as he is, regardless of any differences.   Zehnder Group’s view on tolerance is: “We have a personalized and ­direct way of working with each other. This calls for a high level of ­tolerance for other ideas and opinions, as well as an on-going readiness to cooperate proactively with others.” – In other words, it’s not only about tolerance towards other people but also about being open to new ideas... M R — Yes, new ideas have to be dis­ cussed. In my work, we attach considerable importance to commu­ nicating with each other in the various areas, whether it’s customer services or logistics. We talk about our concerns and share ideas. I find that important, and inspiring as well. S A — In my unit, we talk to each other a lot, and if we have new ideas, we put them forward. We have a system of dealing with new ideas. If someone has a suggestion, they write it down and submit it. It’s then decided whether the idea is a good one and whether it should be implemented or not.   Seidou, how important is tolerance as an issue in Germany and in Togo? S A — Oh, oh, oh. Tolerance is quite different in Togo than it is in ­Germany! Here, everything’s well organized. Integration works. No-one’s too big or too small. In Togo, there are the have’s and the have-not’s:

France Population one side has everything and the rest have nothing. That’s the ­problem of Africa as a whole. Sometimes, we take ideas from here back to our home countries. Ideas such as rubbish bins on the streets. Because if people just throw their rubbish on the streets and then it rains – and it rains a lot! – people get sick... Everything’s different in Togo.   Did you feel welcome when you came to Germany? S A — Yes. It’s good in Germany. It was a bit difficult to start with, but it’s never easy to start out somewhere new. But I’m fine here now. I know all about what you can and cannot do. M R — My impression is that, in Germany, a lot of things are much more regimented than in France...   In which context in your respective countries is tolerance discussed the most? M R — Religion. S A — In Germany? Foreigners.   Which country do you think is most tolerant? M R — Sweden or Fin­ land.   Goethe’s Maxims and Reflections says: “Tolerance should, strictly speaking, be only a passing mood; it ought to lead to acknowledgement and appreciation...” With this in mind, is there anything you would wish to see in respect of tolerance? S A — At Zehnder Group, it doesn’t matter about the colour of my skin, I’m seen as a person, and my ideas and work are acknowledged and respected. My wish is that I could be as integrated outside of work as I am at work. M R — My wish would be that the private life of each and every individual be respected a little bit more; that people wouldn’t be so ready to criticize without really knowing the person involved.

In order to optimally tap this potential and track down new ideas, ­Zehnder Germany has developed its own internal ideas management system. This straightforward system allows employees to submit sugges­ tions for improvements and, if the suggestions are rated as worthwhile, they can then be implemented. In addition to receiving a financial incentive, those who participate in the system are recognized for their contribution. The fact that some 850 ideas were submitted in 2011 alone testifies to an extremely high level of participation, and to a real culture of openness – towards people and ideas.

The articles of association lay down that the chairman (Hans-Peter Zehnder) or his deputy (Peter Wiesendanger)­ convenes and chairs the meeting. The board’s duties are carried out by the entire board. For each meeting, all board members receive relevant documentation two weeks in advance. In 2011 the board met four times, in January, March, May, November (in 2010 four times: January, February, May, September). The meetings last­ ed between half a day and three and a half days. The members of the Group executive committee attended the board meetings. Representatives of the auditors or external consultants are called in to advise on individual items on the agenda. To allow the board to acquire local information direct, a regular rhythm has been estab­ lished to hold one of the board meetings on the pre­m­ ises of an operating company.

Areas of responsibility as well as ­information and control instruments vis-à-vis the Group executive committee The allocation of the areas of responsibility between ­the board and the Group executive committee is based on the law (Swiss Code of Obligations), on the company’s articles of association and on its bye-laws. For the art­ icles of association and for the bye-laws please refer to our website [4]. As part of re­gular reporting practice, the board members receive monthly reports (sales, person­ nel, liquidity) and quarterly reports (commentary, analy­ ses, sales and earnings development, six-month bal­ ance sheet and forecast). Once a year the board members receive the balance sheet and income statement, details on selec­t­ed balance sheet items, and a forecast for the coming years regarding the development of major components of net liquidity. Moreover, the strategic op­ portunities and risks are ­discussed once a year.

" Corporate Governance

Disclosure of compensation Principles Zehnder Group’s employees are the company’s greatest asset. There would be no entrepreneurial success with­ out their full commitment and their energy. Consequent­ ly, the objective of the compensation policy is to recruit qualified new employees, and to retain those already working for the Group.

The most important principles are  Rewarding sustainable performance in relation to comparable and relevant markets  Participating in the company’s success  Assuring internal equality  Balancing short-term and long-term compensation

Fixed basic salary The fixed salary is determined on the basis of the func­ tional responsibility level in the company, the scope and impact of the function, as well as the employee’s ex­ perience and skills. This fixed part of the compensation package is reviewed annually. Salary adjustments re­ flect individual performance, salary history, internal com­ pensation practices, and market salary trends.

Short-term variable compensation Short-term variable compensation is designed to allow Zehnder employees to participate in the current success of the Group on the basis of their personal contribution and the Group targets achieved.

Long-term compensation Acquired shares The long-term International Management Stock Owner­ ship Plan (IMSOP), a long-term, globally consistent com­ pensation programme, was designed for management of operating units and at headquarters. Depending on the management level, participants may take 8 – 10 % of

their annual cash compensation in the form of company bearer shares. The bearer shares are sold with a 30 ­% discount on the purchase price and are subject to a three-year restriction period.

Allocated options Options are allocated to management of operating units and at headquarters in accordance with the Long Term Stock Option Plan (LTSOP). The options are not tra­de­ able, are locked up for a period of five years and ­can thereafter be exercised over a period of three years. Management may decline such options. If the ­options are not exercised they lapse and become ­worthless. Each option carries the right to acquire one bearer share at a price fixed at the time of allocation.

Other employee benefits Other employee benefits are country-specific and struc­ tured in accordance with local practice and are in line with local legal requirements.

Content and procedures for determining compensation for the board of directors and the Group exe-­ cutive committee, and participation in shareholding programs The board of directors periodically determines the com­ pensation for its members. This fixed compensation is made up of a fee and an expense allowance. Half the fee is paid in bearer shares, which are allocated at a 30 % discount. The bearer shares are subject to a three-year restriction period. The compensation committee of the board, made up of three non-executive members without vested interests, determines the compensation structure for the Group executive committee and for executive members of the board; it ensures that the compensation structure is complied with. Total compensation is made up of a ­basic salary and a profit-related, variable salary. The variable

54

341.indd 54

08.03.2012 12:24:21

Overall compensation is in line with that paid in com­ parable industrial companies in Switzerland and is in­ tended to allow recruitment and retention of the highly qualified personnel necessary for the success of the company. There are no clauses on changes of control, either for members of the board or for members of the Group executive committee. There are no agreements with regard to severance compensation. The members of the Group executive committee (incl. executive members of the board) may draw 10 % of their compensation in the form of the company’s bearer shares. The regulations governing this IMSOP (Interna­ tional Management Stock Ownership Plan) were ap­ proved by the board of directors. Members of the Group executive committee (incl. ex­ ecutive members of the board) are allocated options on bearer shares (in 2006 for the first time). The regulations governing this (Long-Term Stock Option Plan) were ­approved by the board of directors.

The financial statements of Zehnder subsidiaries are au­ dited by various auditing firms, including KPMG. Various auditing firms invoiced a total of EUR 760,000 for audi­ting individual accounts and the consolidated financial statements. EUR 448,000 of this total was paid to the KPMG group. A total of EUR 863,000 was charged for taxation and legal services throughout the group. Of this, EUR 137,000 was paid to the KPMG group. In the reporting year ­further consulting services were purchased from the KPMG group in the amount of EUR 199,000. KPMG AG, Basle, holds regular meetings with the chair­ man of the board of directors of Zehnder Group AG. KPMG meets with the entire board at least once a year. At these meetings KPMG presents significant infor­mation on the financial statements of the companies ­audited.

Information policy

There are no change-of-control clauses for members of the board of directors or for members of the Group ex­ ecutive committee. An opting out clause is laid down in Art. 8 of the company’s articles of association.

Meltem Talukan — I’ve brought Turkish coffee... Magnus Bladh —  It’s very well known. M T — When we have guests in our home, we serve them coffee. Coffee has a strong connection with respect in Turkey. We say that a coffee friendship cannot be destroyed. When you have ­coffee with someone, you share your secrets, too... M B — I’ve brought a bass guitar from 1966. It was given to me by my father and it’s full of memories. For me, this instrument symbolizes the respect you should show to anyone, whether in business or in your private life.   What does respect mean for you? M B — For me, it’s about how you treat your colleagues, your customers and yourself as well. Whatever you do, you should do it with respect. M T — I agree. When I do something, I always think of the person I have in front of me and treat them in the way I would want to be treated myself. That’s what respect means for me. At work, it means being honest with my collea­gues and doing my job well. M B — My job as technical manager at Clean Air Solutions is to provide tech­ nical support. In music, the bass sets the groove and gives a tune its positive mood. As technical ­manager, I’m a bit like the bassist who creates the groove.   Respect is the baseline, therefore... M B — Exactly. You may not always be aware of the bass, but if you were to take it away, you’d definitely no­tice!   Zehnder Group’s defines the value of respect as follows: “We have a positive attitude towards colleagues, based on trust and mutual respect.” M B — Respect is indispensable if you want to achieve something. Zehnder Group is a huge company that has to be managed. Although Clean Air Solutions is still small, we’re growing all the time, and in five years we’ll probably be ten times as big.   Do you think respect as a value is “lived” enough in your company? M T — Yes. M B — I think so. A few years ago I had cancer – I received a lot of support from my colleagues, not only in Sweden but from other parts of the world, as well. It was unbelievable. In a situation like that, you can really see whether a value means something and is actually lived.   So you received the support you needed... M B — Yes, even more than I could have expected. Hans-Peter Zehnder himself even sent me an e-mail.    Do you think success is possible with­ out respect? M T — No. In my job I sell products and am in contact with customers the whole time. I have to get on well with people, and put myself in their place. Respect for me is also responding to queries immediately, for example. Leaving people waiting does not show res­ pect. M B — Exactly. Even if, like Zehnder, you have a good product and a strong brand, people still buy from people. You have to build up a social relationship with the customer and then earn respect.   To what extent does respect influence your working atmosphere? M T — You have to feel good at your workplace. If you don’t, you

sweden — turkey

Turkey Population can’t perform well. That’s why it’s really important to have a good relationship with all your colleagues. M B — That’s the way I see it as well. Sweden is very similar to Switzerland in terms of a helpful and con­siderate attitude towards colleagues. Zehnder’s values are not a ­million miles away from the Swedish way of thinking and doing business. In summer, we had a big event that brought all employees together. For a whole day, we focused on values. ­Every single person working at Clean Air Solutions was involved in the ­value process, because each and every one of us has to do his or her bit.   How important is respect in Turkey? M T — Respect is extremely im­ portant in ­Turkey, especially in families. People learn ­respect from their families, and families are very strict. Children have to respect really strict rules; it’s not like in Europe. For example, we can’t just leave our families as soon as we turn 18... M B — Yes, that’s very different.   What role does respect play in Sweden? M B — We don’t talk about respect so much. I think it is simply a part of our ­culture. But it’s not a word you use every day; it’s not a “buzz word” in Sweden.   Is there a country that you see as being particu­ larly respectful? M B — Japan maybe, or China. There, business cards are treated like treasure. In Sweden, you just stick them in your pocket – if you were to do that there, it would be taken as an insult. M T — China would be my first choice. M B — In any case, you can’t demand respect; you have to earn it.   Respect, and you will be respected? M B — Yes. M T — Exactly.   Let’s drink a coffee to that.

APROPOS   Turkish coffee, or mocha, is an important part of Turkish culture. Coffee is not only important in terms of showing hospitality and a well-known marriage ritual, it is also used to tell the future. Coffee cup reading is called “fal” in Turkish. Once the coffee has been drunk, the cup is covered, shaken and turned upside down. A wish is said. As soon as the cup has cooled comple­ tely, the shapes left by the coffee grounds in the bottom of the cup are interpreted.

Glossary

Air distribution

Convection and radiation

Enthalpy exchangers

 The quality of the air indoors is crucial to our wellbeing and health. An air distribution system takes the fresh air prepared in the ventilation device to the consumer and returns the waste air full of odours and moisture to the unit. In terms of their easy and safe installation and of hygiene (cleaning), our solutions make us market leaders.

 A radiator gives off heat through convection and radiation. Convec­ tion needs a medium (for example air) to transport the heat, whereas radiation does not. Thermal radiation passes through the air in the room unhindered, but is absorbed by objects and people or reflected by metallic surfaces. The combi­ nation of convection and radiation produces the total thermal output.

 A thermal recovery unit fitted with an enthalpy exchanger also transmits moisture through a membrane. This allows our devices to enhance system efficiency further by using latent heat, and to improve comfort levels by avoiding situa­ tions where the air is too dry or too damp.

Clean air  The limit values applying to fine dust in exterior air are often greatly exceeded indoors. Our clean air devices use unique special filters to filter fine dust out of the indoor air and are usually used in an industrial setting (logistics, production, foodstuffs industry). They allow our customers to cut cleaning costs, improve product quality and protect their employees’ health.

Comfort  Comfort is a state of well-being but is also applied to user-friendly pro­d­ucts. A good indoor climate creates feelings of comfort. Good products and systems are simple to install and easy to handle. It follows that comfort is a result of simplicity in planning, ordering, assembly, service, product operation, functionality, longevity and reliability, as well as low mainte­ nance requirements.

Cooling with radiators  In principle, radiators can also be used for cooling purposes. The principles of radiation and convec­ tion can also cool rooms. Thanks to their increased heat transmission, so-called fan coils are particularly well suited to cooling applications. The same applies to radiation heaters, for example radiant ceiling panels, where the room gives off heat to the cool radiation surface.

Energy efficiency  Energy efficiency is the ratio between energy output and energy input. An energy-efficient indoor climate calls for efficient heating and cooling, temperature controls, a ventilation control system and the use of renewable energy. The degree of energy efficiency is influenced by many other factors, such as thermal insulation, air-tight­ ness and a sun-protected building envelope. Highly airtight buildings require automatic ventilation.

Health  Health is a state of physical, ­­mental and social wellbeing. Among the many factors which influence our health, our environment clearly plays a major role. Consequently, as we spend more than 70 % of our time indoors, the quality of this environment is decisive. Moreover, the freshness and quality of the air around us, as well as the odours, dust, pollen, vermin, humidity, air circulation, room temperature and noise level impact strongly our health.

Heat pumps  Heat pumps use the natural energy in our environment to heat rooms and water. They function in the same way as a refrigerator. Heat is taken from a low to a high temperature ­level. Just as a refrigerator gives off heat from the cool unit to the warmer room, heat from the earth or exterior air is fed into the indoor heating system. The system uses a refrigerant which vaporises in the cool area, is compres-

Low-temperature radiators  Radiators with a flow tempera­ ture of less than 50 °C are known as low-temperature radiators. They are also suited for use with heat pumps at even lower temperatures or with ­condensing gas burners.

Radiant ceiling panels  Radiant ceiling panels are as close as we can get to mimicking the way heat is given off by the sun. Our radiant ceiling panels are used wherever convection heating is not economically viable or where the enhanced comfort of air not circulating is appreciated, for example in large indoor areas, and increasingly also in offices.

Radiators  A radiator transfers heat from a heating medium (usually water or, in electric radiators, oil) to the envi­­­­­ronment (usually air) to produce and maintain the desired room temperature. Within only a few days we supply our customers with custom­ ised designer radiators directly to their chosen site.

System supplier, system-based business  Alongside our traditional comp ­ onent-based business, we are increasingly supplying customers with complete systems combining heating, hot water preparation, ventilation and cooling. This guaran­ tees in­stallers and our end custom­ ers a ­reliable system for an optimal indoor climate with regard to comfort, health (allergies) and energy efficiency.

Thermal comfort  Thermal comfort is key to ensuring a sense of cosiness in a room. Apart from clothing and human activity, it depends on room temperature, relative air humidity, air speed and the temperature of the surfaces enclosing the room.

Thermal recovery, thermal recovery unit  Our thermal recovery units transfer up to 95 % of the energy of warm, used indoor air to the cold, fresh exterior air. The performance levels reached (ratio between useful heat and electricity used) clearly exceed even those of the best heat pumps for indoor heating. They also filter out harmful pollen and dust from the air and reliably prevent mould forming indoors.

sed via a compressor and then gives off heat when it condenses again at a higher temperature. The brine / water heat pump integrated in Zehnder’s ComfoBox 5 uses the most efficient principle for indoor heating.

 Consolidation Matrix and Principles

Consolidation Matrix and Principles

Consolidation Matrix The consolidated financial statements include all domestic and foreign companies in which Zehnder Group AG directly or indirectly holds more than 50 % of the voting rights. Assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses are included to 100 % in accordance with the full consolidation method. Minority interests in equity and in net income of fully consolidated companies are recognized separately under the corresponding items. Companies in which the participation is 50 % or less can also be fully consolidated provided that legally binding agreements on supervision have been signed. The following changes were made in the consolidation matrix compared to the previous year:  Takeover of Nest Italia S.r.l. (Italy) by Zehnder Group AG as of 4 July 2011 (major balance sheet items at first consolidation: trade accounts receivable EUR 1.2 million, inventories EUR 0.7 million, trade accounts payable EUR 1.0 million, loans EUR 0.8 million). The following companies were newly formed in the reporting year:  Zehnder Group Swiss Property AG (Switzerland),  Dachang Zehnder Indoor Climate Co. Ltd (China).

Consolidation Principles General The data presented in the consolidated financial statements are based on uniform consolidation principles which apply to all Group companies. Intergroup receivables and payables as well as revenues and expenses are eliminated in the consolidated statements. Intercompany business was undertaken at market prices, and intermediate profits in inventories were eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet and income statement of the Zehnder Group are based on the audited financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation matrix for the year ended 31 December.

Capital consolidation Capital is consolidated to show equity capital as if the Group were one single company. To do this, it is necessary to offset the net worth of consolidated companies against the capital allotted to them. Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

Basically, capital is consolidated in accordance with the Anglo-Saxon purchase method. The assets and liabilities of the consolidated subsidiary are valued on the date of the first consolidation in accordance with the Group’s guidelines. After this revaluation or “step up”, any goodwill remaining (positive difference between the purchase price and the total disclosed equity capital of the acquired company after revaluation) is directly charged to the Group’s equity capital in the year of acquisition.

 Accounting and Valuation Principles

Accounting and Valuation Principles

The balance sheets of all subsidiaries of Zehnder Group AG have been valued according to uniform valuation principles in accordance with the Swiss accounting and reporting recommendations (Swiss GAAP FER). The financial reporting gives a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows. The consolidation principles as well as the accounting and valuation principles applied remained unchanged year on year.

1. Liquid assets, financial assets and securities Cash, postal checking account, and bank balances are shown at nominal values.

2. Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are shown at nominal value less allowances for specific currency or credit risks as well as general allowances for bad and doubtful debts. The latter are based on experience.

3. Inventories Inventories are valued on the lower of cost or market principle. Purchased products are valued at acquisition cost and manufactured goods at production cost. Production costs comprise variable manufacturing costs and manufacturing overheads. Valuation adjustments are under­taken for risks arising from time in storage or reduced marketability. Unrealized profits in inventories from intergroup deliveries are eliminated. Any supplier discounts are netted with the cost of materials.

4. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are shown in the consolidated balance sheet at acquisition or manufacturing cost (for self-constructed assets) less depreciation and valuation adjustments from impairment. The following terms of useful life are applicable for the main items contained in property, plant and equipment: Buildings

35 to 50 years

Installations

10 to 20 years

Machines and equipment

5 to 15 years

Furniture

5 to 10 years

Computer hard- and software

3 to 5 years

Vehicles

3 to 5 years

The straight-line method of depreciation is applied for all tangible fixed assets. In general, depreciation commences from the time the asset is put into operation. Plant under construction is not depreciated.

76

224.indd 76

08.03.2012 10:06:35

 Accounting and Valuation Principles

Minor assets to a value of up to EUR 3,000 are charged directly as expenses to the income statement. Investments financed through long-term leases are shown on the balance sheet. Expenses for operating leasing are charged directly to the income statement. Costs for maintenance, repairs, and minor renovations are charged as expenses to the income statement when they occur. Major renovations and investments are capitalized if they result in appreciation of value. Impairment reviews of property, plant and equipment are undertaken annually; this can lead to unplanned write-offs.

5. Financial assets and loans Holdings with a voting interest of less than 20 % and loans are valued at nominal or acquisition cost less appropriate valuation adjustments.

6. Intangible assets Acquired intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost and written down over 3 to 10 years. Internally generated intangible assets are fully charged to the income statement.

7. Trade accounts payable and other liabilities Trade accounts payable and other liabilities are shown at nominal value. They include shortterm tax liabilities, shown in the balance sheet on the basis of the results for the reporting year. This item also includes taxes on the proposed distribution of profits by subsidiaries.

8. Provisions

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

Provisions are made for pension and retirement plans, to cover recognizable risks such as warranty, litigation, currency, and country risks, and to fund ongoing restructuring measures. They also include provisions for deferred taxes. These arise from differences in individual company accounts between Group assessment and assessment for tax purposes. Such differences can lead to a time lag before taxes on income are due. Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of taxes on earnings payable per country. Actual tax expenditure in the foreseeable future is not taken into consideration. The provisions for taxes also include provisions for offsetting risks resulting from tax audits.

 Accounting and Valuation Principles

In most countries, pension and retirement plans are state organised. One of our German companies has a pension plan in addition to the state scheme. Its liabilities in this respect are recognized in the balance sheet under provisions.

9. Pension funds Employees of the Swiss Group companies are registered with a legally independent foundation that provides benefits in addition to state pensions. The foundation is funded through investment income and premiums paid by both employers and employees. The contributions payable are set out in the regulations. Swiss GAAP FER 16 requires that the reserve for employer contributions be disclosed. This reserve is made up of prepayments of future employer contributions to the pension fund. The economic effects of pension plans on the company are presented as follows: Although the capitalization of economic benefit would be admissible, it is not undertaken because the company does not intend to use this to lower employer contributions. Any benefit resulting from freely disposable employer contribution reserves is recognized as an asset. An economic liability is recognized if the conditions for forming a provision are met. The employer contributions to the pension fund for the reporting period are recognized in the income statement.

10. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are used exclusively for hedging purposes. The same valu­ ation principles apply as for the hedged underlying transaction: Valuation is undertaken according to the lower of cost or market principle, i. e. for assets either the current value or the acquisition cost, whichever is lower; for liabilities either the current value or the nominal value. There are no acquisition costs if the hedged underlying transaction involves contractually agreed future cash outs. Such situations are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The transaction is only recognized in the income statement once it has been realized.

The provisions for taxes include deferred taxes as well as other provisions for taxes in accordance with point 8 of the accounting and valuation principles on page 77. The discount rate for German pension commitments was 6 %. Provisions for restructuring are calculated annually and adjusted accordingly. We assume that there is a high likelihood of these provisions being used. The other provisions are primarily provisions for guarantees, for contaminated sites and dismantling real estate, and for pending legal proceedings.

The factors that contributed to changes in consolidated equity are presented in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. In addition to a dividend of CHF 25 per bearer share and of CHF 5 per registered share, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Zehnder Group AG held on 20 May 2011 approved the repayment of the par value of CHF 50 per bearer share and CHF 10 per registered share as well as a 1:40 share split. Since the par value repayment and the share split in August 2011, the share capital now totals CHF 14.7 million (2010: CHF 29.3 million), corresponding to EUR 10.1 million (2010: EUR 20.1 million) at the exchange rate on 1.1.2003. It is now made up of 9,756,000 bearer shares with a par value of CHF 1.25 each (2010: 243,900 bearer shares at CHF 100 each), and 9,900,000 registered shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 each (2010: 247,500 registered shares at CHF 20 each).

Events after the balance sheet date Zehnder Group AG increased its investment in Sanpan Isitma Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd, which it has held since 2006, from 51% to 100 % as at 5 January 2012. Both parties have agreed not to disclose details of the price. The financial statements for 2011 were approved by the board of directors on 1 March 2012, subject to approval by the annual general meeting on 24 April 2012.

26. Disclosure of compensation paid to the board of directors and the executive committee Please refer to the disclosure in the individual financial statements of Zehnder Group AG on page 108.

27. Risk assessment Zehnder Group operates a risk assessment process, which was approved by the board of directors. The risk policy defines a structured process which, in turn, specifies how business risks are to be monitored; it is an integral part of midterm planning. In this process risks are identified, analysed with regard to probability and magnitude, assessed, and measures for risk control are determined. Each member of the Group executive committee is required to implement the measures in his area of responsibility. The board is periodically informed on significant changes in risk assessment as well as on risk management activities undertaken. The internal control system for financial reporting defines control measures to reduce the various risks. Compliance with the internal guidelines is monitored through internal spot checks and periodically by external specialists. Financial risks are monitored via the treasury department of Zehnder Group under the leadership of the CFO. Risk management focuses on the recognition, analysis and hedging of foreign exchange, interest, liquidity and counterparty risks in order to limit their impact on cash flow and net result.

Report of the

Statutory Auditor " Report of the Statutory Auditor

on the Consolidated Financial Statements to the General Meeting of Shareholders of Zehnder Group Ltd, Gränichen

As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Zehnder Group Ltd, which comprise the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and notes, as presented on pages 69 through 101, for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Board of Directors’ Responsibility The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and the requirements of Swiss law. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The board of directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

" Report of the Statutory Auditor

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and comply with Swiss law.

Report on Other Legal Requirements We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence (article 728 CO and article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence. In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of consolidated financial statements according to the instructions of the board of directors. We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

General comments As Zehnder Group AG has a pure holding-company function, the point must be made that the income development of this company in no way reflects the present or future profitability of Zehnder Group. Hence the development of the Group as set out in the consolidated financial statements – and not the individual financial statements of Zehnder Group AG – is decisive for the board of directors for their dividend proposal. The aim of the dividend policy laid down by the board of directors is to pay out some 30 % of the consolidated net income of Zehnder Group to its shareholders. The balance sheet and income statement are drawn up in line with Swiss company law.

In addition to a dividend of CHF 25 per bearer share and of CHF 5 per registered share, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Zehnder Group AG held on 20 May 2011 approved the repayment of the par value of CHF 50 per bearer share and CHF 10 per registered share as well as a 1:40 share split.

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

Since the par value repayment and the share split in August 2011, the share capital now totals CHF 14.7 million (2010: CHF 29.3 million), corresponding to EUR 10.1 million (2010: EUR 20.1 million) at the exchange rate on 1.1.2003. It is now made up of 9,756,000 bearer shares with a par value of CHF 1.25 each (2010: 243,900 bearer shares at CHF 100 each), and 9,900,000 registered shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 each (2010: 247,500 registered shares at CHF 20 each). The unlisted registered shares (CHF 0.25 nominal value) are all directly or indirectly held by members of the Zehnder family or by persons closely associated with the family. The great majority of the registered shares is owned by Graneco AG (Switzerland), which is controlled by Messrs. H. P. Zehnder, H. J. Zehnder, A. Zehnder and P. Wiesendanger.

4. Dividend income The dividend income comprises all dividends received by the company. These are generally recognized before deduction of any withholding taxes.

" Notes to the Financial Statements

Notes to disclosure of compensation 1. Allocated shares Compensation for board activities is fixed and made up of a fee and a small expense allowance. Half the compensation must be drawn in bearer shares. These are allocated at a discount of 30 % on the purchase price. The bearer shares are subject to a three-year restriction period. Disclosure of the shares allocated in the reporting year is, as required for tax purposes, at market value at the time of allocation (and not at the purchase price less 30 % as described above).

2. Variable cash compensation The variable cash compensation for the Group executive committee is made up of a profitrelated, variable salary and an individual bonus. The variable part is paid out in the following year. It is calculated using a fixed formula based on the disclosed net income for the year as well as on individual compensation factors. The latter reflect such aspects as the complexity of the position held, personal experience and personal success. The variable salary can only be earned provided that net income for the year is positive. The targeted variable compensation for the chairman of the Group executive committee it ranges from 50 % to 100 % of the fixed basic salary. For all other members of the Group executive committee it ranges from 35 % to 75 % of the fixed basic salary. There is a contractually agreed upper limit for variable compensation for all members of the Group executive committee: for the chairman of the Group executive committee it is 100 %, for all other members 75 %. The individual bonus of up to a maximum of 10 % of the fixed basic salary is linked to reaching individual targets.

3. Employer social security and pension contributions These are employer contributions to state social security systems and / or independent pension funds at home and abroad.

4. Acquired shares Members of the Group executive committee may take 10 % of their total compensation in the form of bearer shares. The regulations governing this were approved by the board of directors and also apply to other Group management personnel. The bearer shares are sold with a 30 % discount on the purchase price to those who qualify; the shares are subject to a three-year restriction period. The value disclosed under acquired shares corresponds to the market value for tax purposes at the time of purchase less the discounted purchase price.

5. Options granted Options are granted in accordance with the Long Term Stock Option Plan (LTSOP). This plan was approved by the board of directors and also applies to other Group management personnel. The options are not tradable, are locked up for a period of five years and – after the lock-up period – can be exercised over a period of three years. Management personnel may decline such options. If the options are not exercised they lapse and become worthless. Each option carries the right to acquire one bearer share at a price fixed at the time of the allocation. For further information on employee options please refer to note 24 on page 96 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Valuation of the options granted in the reporting year is based on the Black / Scholes formula. As this formula does not take into consideration various LTSOP restrictions (such as the lock-up period), the gross value is discounted in line with Black / Scholes.

6. Other payments The other payments primarily include the legally required child benefit payments, the private share in a company car, and the right to eat in the subsidized staff restaurant.

Disclosure of ownership structure According to the information available to the board of directors, the following shareholder holds more than 3.0 % of the share capital of Zehnder Group AG:  Alecta pensionsförsäkring, ömsesidigt, Stockholm (SE), holds 849,224 bearer shares, corresponding to 4.3 % of the votes (2010: 0.0 %).

Risk assessment

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

Zehnder Group operates a risk assessment process, which was approved by the board of directors. The risk policy defines a structured process which, in turn, specifies how business risks are to be monitored; it is an integral part of midterm planning. In this process risks are identified, analysed with regard to probability and magnitude, assessed, and measures for risk control are determined. Each member of the Group executive committee is required to implement the measures in his area of responsibility. The board is periodically informed on significant changes in risk assessment as well as on risk management activities undertaken. The internal control system for financial reporting defines control measures to reduce the various risks. Compliance with the internal guidelines is monitored through internal spot checks and periodically by external specialists. Financial risks are monitored via the treasury department of Zehnder Group under the leadership of the CFO. Risk management focuses on the recognition, analysis and hedging of foreign exchange, interest, liquidity and counterparty risks in order to limit their impact on cash flow and net result.

Report of the

Statutory Auditor " Report of the Statutory Auditor

on the Financial Statements to the General Meeting of Shareholders of Zehnder Group Ltd, Gränichen, Switzerland

As statutory auditor, we have audited the financial statements of Zehnder Group Ltd, which comprise the balance sheet, income statement and notes as presented on pages 104 through 116 for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Board of Directors’ Responsibility The board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The board of directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Zehnder Group Annual Report 2011

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 comply with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation.
