Values and principles

Growth can only be attained together.

• Principles of our Business Ethics

  Our common values – respect, preparedness for reaction, results – are the principles, which we incorporate in our work and on which we focus in our behavior. They define our responsibility to the whole environment of the company (customers, owners, colleagues, suppliers…) and are relevant for the whole organization. We live these values – day after day.

• Integrity

  We act frankly, honestly, and fair. We take for granted that everybody acts on one’s own responsibility and keeps with our agreements. Thereby we establish long term trusting relationships.

• Communication and Respect

  We treat people with dignity and respect. We openly share information among each other, give feedback and listen to each other. Our environment embeds us in a continuous learning process. This enables all employees – independent of their cultur al background, gender or status (oder social ranking) – to unfold their full potential. Everybody contributes with its individuality to our variety. This represents our understanding of social responsibility.

• Quality and Innovation

  We aim for innovation and quality in all our processes. We commit ourselves to a zero-defect philosophy (see also „Quality Approach“).

• Environment

  By using modern technologies we consider the attentive utilization of the natural resources. The defined methods of production and established checks help us to abide and continuously enhance our environmental ambitions (see also EHS-Policy).

• Technology and Efficiency

  We consider our technology not as an end in itself but as an instrument for efficient production and to achieve a unique selling proposition. Thereby we aim for maximum standardization (e.g. technology, processes, energy efficiency, material efficiency, software…). We want to continuously optimize our value creation with interdisciplinary and proactive participation in continuous improvement processes (CIP).

• Risk

  We admit to an active risk management based on the identification, evaluation and rating of known risk potentials. To proof our Company Group from damage we derivate acceptable actions.
