OUR CONTRIBUTION TO A SAFE FUTURE
For us, sustainability means striving towards an interlocking set of social, environmentally sound and economic objectives, each of equal importance. We place sustainable growth above making a rapid financial return. We wish to create enduring values and we work continuously to be careful and sparing with resources and our environment. Sustainability also matters to us as a responsible employer. Indeed, our top priority is to foster, protect and motivate a workforce that enjoys equal opportunity.
WE ACT LAWFULLY AND ARE GUIDED BY OUR VALUES
For us, compliance means more than responsible management of a company. It also entails compliance with statutory directives, government regulations, internal company guidelines and the upholding of ethical principles. For all employees, rule-compliant conduct is second nature. To uphold this, we provide training for all of our staff at regular intervals. Our Code of Conduct serves as a guide for all of our decisions and actions.
EQUAL RIGHTS
We have always been considerate of equal opportunities for women and men. In March 2015, the Bundestag, German Federal Parliament, signed off on the 'Act for the equal participation of women and men in management positions'. We comply with this law, and we promote women into leadership positions by having at least one woman at executive level and at least one in the next tier of management. This objective was achieved in June 2017 and defined criteria remains in place until 30 June, 2022.
