Joint successes. Social responsibility.
Acting responsibly is our corporate contribution to sustainable development in the areas of activity relating to the market, the environment, employees, and the community.
We make a large positive contribution to our social obligation by making sustainability into an even more important element of our strategy. We strive to act responsibly and sustainably in all processes. We regularly discuss what sustainable corporate management means on many levels of the company. The results are implemented promptly. This also applies to the digitalisation of business processes and the assessment and avoidance of its social and environmental risks.
Our business ethics are also based on the principle that we do not tolerate corruption, bribery, or fraudulent business practices of any type. The motto here is being successful together and responsibly.
We consistently eliminate all activities that prevent fair competition. We comply with antitrust laws. Collusion is prohibited so that prices and terms cannot be influenced.
Bearing social responsibility. Fostering commitment.
Our social responsibility can be seen in our social commitment and the fight against social injustice.
In 2014, we opened a company-owned day care centre for children on our company site. A total of 55 children, including children under two and children with disabilities, attend the inclusive day care center and are cared for by a team of professionals.
In social terms, we boost the local environment and region, whether through cooperation with disabled workshop establishments or participation in community-supported sports events. Our talent promotion extends from cycling sponsorships and German scholarship grants to the funding of STEM school programmes to provide more young people with access to mathematics and science topics.
We encourage the voluntary commitment of our employees and support social project days for this purpose. Direct support ranges from disabled facilities and charitable organisations to sports promotion and animal welfare. Employees released from work by Wipotec implement social projects locally in relevant establishments.
We also promote education in the region by working with schools and universities, by awarding grants and supporting dual study programmes. The aim of setting up an "Environment – Technology – Social Services" skills centre is to inspire children and young people with enthusiasm for the exciting world of technology.
The systematic training and professional development of our employees and partners is a key building block of our strategy for optimising the sustainability of our production and supply chain. In addition to e-learning, we rely on specialist workshops for training and development at selected locations.
