Sustainability

As a traditional company with more than 100 years of history, we have always placed emphasis on sustainability and future viability. Our business has an impact on a variety of internal and external stakeholders as well as on the environment. That's why we provide customers, employees and the protection of natural resources at the very center of our sustainability efforts.

Our customers and employees appreciate and trust us, and we strive to continuously meet their expectations and requirements. We are committed to the protection of natural resources. We take pride in working to a high quality standard and are constantly looking for ways to improve. Our action is based on the following principles.

Our employees are our greatest asset. As a responsible employer, we are committed to providing our employees with the best working conditions. In particular, safety and health at work have an important place for us.

We ask all employees to keep safe and healthy workplaces. This is an integral part of our corporate strategy "Kloeckner & Co 2020", and we adhere to the industrial safety policy of Kloeckner & Co SE.

A key element is preventative safety. Our motto: move away from a purely "technical" approach to industrial safety and towards a greater awareness of safety and health at work.

Through implementation of industrial safety measures we treat our executives and employees as equal. Because we are convinced: with clarification and persuasion, we achieve more than with rules and compulsory.
