Sustainability promise
We at Körber have a clear position: We are the first to do the right thing at the right time. This applies to our innovations and to our collaboration with customers, business partners, suppliers, and all other stakeholders. This is especially true when we look ahead. After all, what tomorrow will look like is at the core of every idea of sustainability.
We are determined to create a better and more sustainable future by means of our experience, our activities, and our technological expertise. We don’t just put that on slides. We promise it. That’s because promises are given willingly if those who give them are convinced they can keep them.
Our sustainability promise is holistic in scope and encompasses all three dimensions of sustainability: environmental, society, and governance.
Environmental:
We are reducing CO₂ emissions and energy consumption and thus helping to protect the climate. Our goal is a circular economy in which waste and pollution are avoided as far as possible, materials are reused, and natural resources are conserved.
Society:
We are a fair and attractive employer. The health and safety of our employees are our top priority. We enable diversity, equity, inclusion, and the compatibility of family and work. Our internal communications are frank and dialog-oriented. And, as a company, we are an active member of society. We get involved with donations and encourage volunteering — at the Group level and in the local communities at all of our locations.
Governance:
We rigorously align our business activities with ethical and moral standards. We ensure the security of our IT systems and the data that has been entrusted to us. We put our sustainability principles into practice in collaboration with our customers and our business partners. That is why we design our supply chains and the collaboration with our suppliers in an ethically, socially, and ecologically responsible manner.
Whenever we do anything, we do it right. Sustainability is our responsibility. That is why our sustainability promise is firmly embedded in our corporate strategy.
However, our promise is also an invitation to others. We want to inspire other people and work together with them to develop new ideas. After all, the best way to create a sustainable future is to shape it together.
