Values & Responsibility:
“Leading by example is not just the best way to influence others, it is the only way.” – Albert Schweitzer
WE TAKE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY VERY SERIOUSLY
Social and ecological
Companies also have social responsibility. This is not only our firm belief, it also determines our entrepreneurial actions. Our corporate culture is based on integrity, creativity and reliability. We always want to align our economic approach with social and ecological impacts. As a global company, this is also a question of credibility for us. We bear responsibility in several ways: as an employer, as a buyer, as a consultant, as a trading partner. And this in a wide variety of cultures and societies. As a member of the global community, we want to set a good example everywhere.
SHAPING CHANGE
Respectfully and with team spirit
We take care of our employees and ensure that everyone can treat each other with respect in every workplace. We promote employees who want to inspire our customers with team spirit, open up new markets and shape change. And we oblige our partners around the world to comply with ecological and social standards.
As a family business, we think and plan for the long term. All employees are responsible for ensuring that this is reflected in our daily actions. In order to meet this requirement every day, it is important for each individual in our team to know what is important. This makes us predictable and reliable.
Our managers maintain trusting contact with their employees and our market managers with their customers and suppliers. Our word always applies. This makes us trustworthy and reliable.
Our company is open-minded and willing to change in order to remain successful in the market environment. We are always guided by mutual respect as well as solid, legally compliant and socially oriented entrepreneurship. This makes us future-proof and credible.
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
We take our responsibility in the areas of occupational safety and product safety as well as environmental protection very seriously. Our environmental management system meets the requirements of ISO 14001:2015. Because everything we do should be future-oriented and responsible for sustainable development.
For example, we participate in the sustainability platform EcoVadis and have also joined the UN Global Compact initiative. Our future sustainability reports and additional information will appear on our website in a timely manner.
ECOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Companies have a crucial responsibility in achieving the 1,5 degree target. There is no alternative but to significantly and structurally reduce emissions.
Accordingly, reduction targets are the core of every climate protection strategy and are defined as goals that can be achieved in the short, medium and long term. A far-sighted strategy also determines how the reduction commitments are anchored in the organization.
OUR SOLUTION APPROACH: A HOLISTIC CO2 STRATEGY
We are on the right path.
The idea of voluntary CO2 compensation: Companies can offset their own emissions of climate-damaging gases by purchasing CO2 certificates from climate protection projects. Such projects promote, for example, the expansion of solar power, biogas plants and hydropower.
After examining and evaluating the company-related activities for our CO2 impact, we strive to compensate for this annually through appropriate environmental investments.
Germany should become climate neutral by 2045. Germany's path to climate neutrality is laid out in the Climate Protection Act.
We intend to be climate neutral by 2030.
COMPLIANCE
Code of conduct for business partners
We expect that our business partners, like us, adhere to the law at all times and everywhere. They are aware of their responsibility towards employees, customers and suppliers as well as towards society and the principles that support them. The personal dignity of every single person is respected and no discrimination and/or disadvantages based on gender, ethnic origin, disabilities or age, as well as sexual orientation, religion or ideology will be tolerated. We expect compliance with human rights and international standards for the protection of employees.
We will check any indications of possible irregularities as quickly as possible. We want to constantly improve and correct any shortcomings.
