BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
Our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees are characterised by understanding, consideration and support. We treat everyone with equal respect and encourage social and political engagement based on sharing knowledge, skills and humanity.
Our identity is shaped by what we do every day, and we take responsibility for our actions. Treating people, nature and energy sustainably is fundamental to us because we believe this approach pays off in the long term.
We do not make decisions based solely on short-term considerations; we always consider their consequences. We regard ourselves as an integral part of a society founded on human values, in which social commitment is not merely encouraged but expected. We oppose all forms of discrimination, bullying and violations of human dignity. Prejudice based on gender, race or religion, as well as radicalism and antisemitism, have no place in our company.
This commitment forms the basis of trust, which we reciprocate through loyalty and a commitment to long-term business relationships.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Our corporate values are consistent with sustainable resource management, the growth of our company and the wider economy, and the pursuit of fair trade. Our reputation is a key element of our success, and we are determined to protect it.
Strong but fair competition has shaped us and will continue to rest on clear, unwavering values. Our commitment is based on integrity, fairness, sustainability and honest partnerships with everyone involved. You can trust us to act in compliance with applicable legal requirements.
Every employee is personally responsible for complying with our Code of Conduct. Donations and any other granting of benefits by our company are prohibited where they are intended to improperly influence the conduct of recipients or business partners.
QUALITY POLICY
Each partner company and its employees are individually responsible for the quality of their work. They understand the requirements necessary to deliver the required quality in their respective areas of activity. Any missing information must be requested immediately.
Through continuous organisational, operational and technical improvements, we aim to enhance the quality of our services and products. At the same time, we keep costs as low as possible to safeguard and strengthen our market position.
Our goal is continuous improvement across all processes, promoting integrated, economically sound and environmentally responsible conduct by everyone involved. We regard our subcontractors as partners and maintain open, performance-oriented communication.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Our world faces numerous interconnected environmental problems. We participate in projects designed to improve environmental conditions and reduce environmental harm.
Environmental protection is an integral part of our products and production processes. Our environmentally friendly products minimise pollutants and save energy. We employ efficient production methods and use resources sparingly.
Our objectives are to continuously improve our environmental and energy management systems and comply with statutory requirements. Our environmentally responsible project management monitors every aspect, from laws to regulations.
Environmental protection and optimising energy efficiency are embedded in every area of our company. We continually adapt our objectives and enforce standards of conduct.
Waste and emissions are managed responsibly. Gases are cleaned, and residues are recycled or thermally disposed of, with due regard for people and the environment.
When introducing new products, we assess their environmental impact and energy efficiency to avoid risks. This comprehensive approach covers the entire product life cycle.
We involve customers, suppliers and stakeholders to raise environmental and energy awareness. Our products and services reflect this philosophy.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
We use resources extremely efficiently. This includes energy, water, raw materials and auxiliary materials, which are carefully planned for and used effectively and efficiently.
We pursue continuous improvement, including reviewing and optimising our environmental and energy management systems and all process-related energy performance.
Environmentally responsible project management is integral to our approach. It is reflected in ongoing monitoring of and compliance with laws, official requirements, rules and regulations throughout planning, specification and project execution.
Environmental protection and increased efficiency are top priorities.
Responsible management of waste and emissions is mandatory in the manufacture of our products. It includes maximum possible cleaning and filtering of gases and the recycling or thermal disposal of liquid and solid residues without endangering people or the environment.
Comprehensive information and a preventive approach to environmental and energy issues are firmly established elements of our work.
PREVENTING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
When introducing new products and processes, we assess their environmental impact and energy efficiency to avoid risks. We consider the entire life cycle of our products, including disposal.
We promote environmental and energy awareness among customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to prevent the waste of resources and energy.
Our products and services reflect this philosophy.
Our environmental policy is communicated at all locations and workplaces, and all employees have access to information and measures supporting its implementation.
COMMUNITY
Human capital is a crucial factor in our company's success. We convey its importance to our employees through a transparent and open corporate culture.
Our corporate philosophy guides our actions, and we stand together as one team. We consistently appreciate our employees' achievements and commitment.
Through our open-door policy, we encourage and support constructive, courageous dialogue and open communication across departments and between employees and management.
We are always ready to listen and strive to accommodate individual needs wherever possible. Flexible working hours, helpfulness, equality, protection from bullying and a sense of belonging to a connected community help improve workplace satisfaction and productivity.
Ultimately, what matters are our shared goals, which we can achieve only by working together.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The company is committed to complying with statutory requirements and preventing risks. Management and supervisory staff are responsible for implementation and give priority to health and safety.
Employees and subcontractors work together to ensure a working environment free from avoidable risks. Management is available to address difficulties, particularly concerning health, safety and well-being.
Management oversees implementation with the support of a safety adviser. The corporate policy is visible and accessible at every location. Appropriate structures and arrangements are in place at each site to provide employees with support when needed.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
In a world increasingly affected by extreme weather events, outstanding solutions for protecting water resources and preventing flooding are becoming ever more important. Together we can create a more liveable, water-resilient future.
Water, our most precious resource, is essential to human and animal life. Beyond meeting basic needs, it plays a vital role in hygiene, food preparation and industrial processes, making a major contribution to health and quality of life.
For this reason, we promote the JUMBO BLOCK® system to help create a future worth living in. We believe companies should pursue not only economic success but also social responsibility.
Values such as sustainability and decency guide us because we are committed to the well-being of people and communities. Contribute in your own way and make a positive difference in the world. Your participation is invaluable to the community, is appreciated, and we are proud to uphold high ethical standards.
