Identity & Authority β€” The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority is high but technically under-represented in structured data; the schema_json is null across the board. While the site names dozens of experts (Tim HΓΆttges, Hannes Wittig, etc.) and provides direct contact details, it lacks the Person schema or sameAs links required to bridge the technical authority gap. The implementation of specific governance documents provides the most authority substance.

Performance claims are generally backed by recent evidence, such as the May 13, 2026 Q1 report. A minor disconnect exists in the ‘Net Zero’ section, which makes bold claims about being ‘climate neutral’ while admitting that ‘the last percentage points’ are handled through neutralization projects, a common corporate hedging strategy.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
