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. This attitude is the basis for everything we do. All of our colleagues continually work together in a positive, business-minded way to shape our passion for pretzel products. Our primary tasks are improving and optimising; our management activities; our production skills; our pretzel product expertise; our sustainability performance and our level of technology. We find that working together strengthens our society and helps it to develop. We do not tolerate discrimination in any form. We know that a sustainable company is important for us and for generations to come. Caring for the well-being of others and sharing our passion with them is not only fun but also boosts our productivity. As a company, we have been part of society since 1919 and are looking ahead resolutely to the future.
Corporate responsibility
We have great pride not only in the 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 criteria 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 delivering our top quality product for instance. This is achieved through only working with motivated, flexible suppliers who, just like us, are geared towards meeting demanding customer expectations. We are both proud of and grateful for these longstanding partnerships. Our open communication means we are able to help each other to minimise our respective warehousing and transport costs and deliver the best value for our customers.
