Awareness and ethical conduct

Satisfied and valued employees and partners are fundamental to business success. That’s why we take great care to preserve collaborative, family-like relationships with our suppliers, service providers and global sales partners, and are constantly working to improve our attractiveness as an employer. For example, on top of supporting individual professional development, we also provide various extras like bonuses, language courses, and a company pension plan.

Green electricity: sustainable energy for our production

100% of our electricity comes from renewable energies - generated from European hydropower, wind power and photovoltaics. We therefore rely on a sustainable, environmentally friendly energy source and manufacture our products to the highest ecological standards.

Sustainable re-use of packaging material

For us, sustainability does not end with production - we also rely on environmentally friendly solutions for shipping. Wherever possible, we reuse packaging materials to conserve resources and reduce waste.
