Sustainability

Environment

Low energy consumption and resource-conserving behavior

Sustainable ecological action is of great importance to us as a company. Our measures are in line with the careful use of resources and the protection of our environment. High priorities include the reduction of CO2 emissions, low energy consumption and low consumption of waste, materials and water.

In particular, we strive to increase the share of sustainable energy, taking into account economic efficiency, and to reduce fuel consumption for journeys to our offices and business trips, promoting the use of public or fuel-free means of transport. In addition, we ensure, among other things, the proper recycling of unavoidable waste such as consumables and packaging materials.

Labor and human rights

Equality, diversity and respect

We strive to be an attractive employer and to provide a good working environment in which all employees feel comfortable and their individual needs are taken into account. This also includes creating fair working conditions with fair compensation, additional benefits, flexible working time models for an optimal work-life balance as well as training and development opportunities. We also focus on long-term cooperation with our employees, equality, accessibility, diversity and respect. Protecting against harassment, discrimination and offensive behavior is a top priority for us.

Maintaining health and preventing accidents is a high priority for us, which is why we take safety and ergonomics in the workplace very seriously. Supervisors and their employees have an equal obligation to support the implementation of health protection and accident prevention measures. Along our entire supply chain, we also pay attention to the protection and observance of labor and human rights and select our suppliers accordingly. We are convinced that only in this way a sustainable procurement and supplier management is possible.

Ethics

Responsibility for ethical and moral conduct

As a company and employer, we are aware of our ethical and moral responsibility towards our employees, customers, suppliers and partners as well as society and the environment. Values such as fairness, appreciation, honesty, commitment and transparency are integral parts of our corporate philosophy.

Our actions are based on a code of conduct that ensures respectful, trusting and responsible cooperation. All employees comply with the agreed directives and ensure ethically and morally impeccable conduct. The code of conduct includes focal points such as the protection of personal integrity in the workplace and instructions on corruption. The code of conduct is reviewed regularly and adapted as necessary.

Sustainable procurement

Sustainable procurement and supplier management

As a service company, we rely on sustainable cooperation with our suppliers, as they have a direct impact on our ecological footprint. We therefore attach great importance to responsible, holistic sustainable procurement and supplier management.

Every purchasing decision has an impact across the entire supply chain and life cycle. For this reason, sustainable procurement for us includes procuring products and services where all suppliers ensure fair working conditions and cause minimal ecological impact. When selecting contractors and working with them, we aim to give greater consideration to their performance in terms of safety, health, the environment, social standards and fair business practices. In doing so, we rank sustainability higher than economic interests.
