We foster a culture of flat hierarchies and relationships based on trust. We firmly believe that every employee has the potential to achieve great things and that open and transparent communication is the key to success. We are committed to a modern, healthy, inclusive and non-discriminatory working environment and enable our employees to develop professionally and personally. By embedding sustainability values, we provide our employees with a framework for their actions. We encourage our stakeholders to also take sustainable measures and advise them to the best of our ability.
We promote a shared understanding of sustainable business practices as a prerequisite for ensuring the future viability of our Group. We create trust with transparent processes, governance structures and performance and sustainability indicators. We anticipate change and rely on cooperation. We ensure that sustainability is integrated into our strategy, our values, our investments and our performance system.
We want to reduce our environmental footprint and the negative impact of our consumer behavior. We convince our colleagues to take sustainable measures at all levels: from personal consumption and mobility behavior to the company's ecological footprint.
This is how we act - for a fair & sustainable future:
We promote a culture of sustainability by supporting and valuing environmentally conscious behavior and social responsibility.
