Responsibility for
people and nature
As an innovative company we are aware of our responsibility when
we apply new scientific findings for commercial use.
When we apply our knowledge we try to weigh up the
opportunities and the risks in
a dialog with both scientists and the general public. We regard
our formulas as being of exceptional quality and effectiveness.
We believe it is important to have openness and a working
atmosphere based on mutual respect in our company.
We put health and safety at work before economic
issues. When any action is taken, we have to be
aware of its impact on the environment, and this is
not only a duty that benefits society, but also an important requirement for maintaining our
profitability and competitiveness. For this reason
we promote environ-mental awareness among our
employees and encourage them to treat resources
responsibly.
Fairness and tolerance
Everything
we do is intended to be based on a fair and lasting partner-ship. We meet our
competitors on the basis of fairness, with all players keeping to the rules of
the market. We observe the laws and customs of the countries where we are
active. We are in favor of equal opportunities and we oppose all forms of
discrimination, whether on grounds of sexual identity, ethnic origin, political
and religious views, disability or age. Our corporate culture is characterized
by open-mindedness, honesty, mutual respect, ability to accept criticism,
tolerance and a positive basic attitude.
Quality
The high quality of our products and services is crucial for
satisfying our customers and our shareholders. We
integrate the latest and best technologies into our
work processes for the purposes of optimization and
quality assurance. We cooperate closely with
scientific institutes and universities.
Transparency
We seek dialog with investors, media partners and the public. Our
employees and their elected representatives in the
company regularly receive information about the
development of our company, the status of our work
and important decisions. We know that a company’s
value does not depend solely on economic indicators.
Other factors are a good reputation and above all
credibility.
