Our responsibility
Responsibility
It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.
Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin)
We
act in accordance with this principle. Our attitude is the basis for everything
we do. We want to work together in a positive, business-minded way to shape our
passion for pretzel products. We do not
tolerate discrimination in any form. We know that a sustainable company is
important for us and for generations to come. Optimising our management
activities, our production skills, our pretzel product expertise, our
sustainability performance and our level of technology are all primary tasks.
We find that working together strengthens our society and helps it to develop.
Caring for the well-being of others and sharing our passion with them is not
only fun but also very productive. As a company, we have been part of society
since 1919 and are looking ahead resolutely to the future.
Corporate responsibility
We set great store not only by diversity in our product range but also in our workforce. We guarantee equal opportunities in all respects. Whether filling new vacancies or internal promotions, the sole criterion for our decision is how qualified the person is for the job.
When working together with international suppliers, we take steps to ensure that we do not source any raw materials that have been produced under exploitative working conditions such as child or forced labour.
When it comes to practising sustainability and exercising duty of care for human rights along our supply chains, we use Ecovadis ratings to survey/monitor our suppliers and to audit our own activities for our customers. Since the legal requirements (Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) have been in place, we have carried out an annual Group-wide risk analysis & implementation of measures for our upstream supply chain.
Our sustainability goals
All targets are based on absolute reductions. This means we have to more than compensate for organic growth. It is possible that we will adjust the baseline for new acquisitions.
- 50% | Own emissions 2022-2025 (Scope 1 and 2) |
100% | Renewable electricity |
- 50% | Emissions from the supply chains for own |
- 100% | All emissions by 2050 (net zero) |
We strive to use energy and naturally limited resources efficiently and sustainably, with the goal of continuously reducing energy consumption. To achieve this, we operate an energy management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001.
Your responsibility
Raising the bar together
Great
goals are best achieved as part of a team. Take top product quality, for
instance. This is why we work with motivated, flexible suppliers who – just
like us – are geared towards meeting demanding customer expectations. So we are
both proud of and grateful for these longstanding partnerships. Because we
communicate openly with one another, we are able to help each other to minimise
our respective warehousing and transport costs.
