“The outstanding development of Beiersdorf and its brands over the last century has shown that its conversion to a public limited company back in 1922 was the right step has decisively advanced the group’s innovative strength,” said Astrid Hermann, Beiersdorf’s Chief Financial Officer.
“The return to the DAX is a perfect fit for our 100th anniversary as a joint-stock company.
“We will continue to focus on the implementation of our corporate strategy CARE+.
“Our success in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 confirms that this is the right course.”

Meanwhile, since its inception Beiersdorf’s market capitalisation has grown to more than €24bn, as of the end of May.
