Our goals for people, the environment and the economy.

Within the scope of our possibilities and structures, our aim is to define and pursue precisely those goals for gat where our corporate actions have the greatest impact on people, the environment and society. With this in mind, we have selected the following focal points from the 17 goals of the United Nations:
 

• Health and well-being
  "Ensure a healthy life for all people of all ages and promote their well-being."
  
  We support awareness of the value of one's own health and create a working environment in which the health of all employees is maintained and promoted. To this end, we have defined various measures in the areas of health, working hours, working environment, incentives and family – from family-friendly working time models to ergonomic office equipment.
   

• High-quality education
  "Ensure inclusive, equal and high-quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all."

  Well-trained employees are the basis for our business success. School opportunities for the next generation are the basic prerequisite for this. With measures in the areas of education for our own employees (e.g. training and further education) and support for younger employees (e.g. school internships and bachelor/master jobs for students), we contribute to diverse educational opportunities.
   

• Gender equality
  "Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls."

  Gender equality is a human right that should be reflected not only in how we treat each other, but also in very concrete terms in terms of development opportunities, working time models and salary. The most important issues for us therefore include equality at work and working hours and remuneration models that are adapted to individual life situations (e.g. part-time, mobile working).
   

• Affordable and clean energy
  "Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all."

  Wherever feasible, we rely on renewable energies in the company, which we can use to reduce the burden on the environment and actively drive forward the energy transition. This includes, for example, our photovoltaic system for self-sufficiency and the use of green electricity wherever possible. We use energy-efficient equipment and handle it in an energy-saving manner.
   

• Decent work and economic growth
  "Promote durable, broad-based and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all."

  Our responsibility for decent work encompasses not only a respectful and appreciative working environment within the company, but also the working conditions at our partners and suppliers. That's why, for example, we only work with companies that have an appropriately fair footing and have strict evaluation criteria for our suppliers. In the area of occupational safety, we have binding guidelines that protect our employees.
   

• Sustainable consumption and production
  "Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns."

  We are committed to responsible, conscious use of our natural resources, both in our daily work processes and in the purchasing of our components and choice of production processes. Our extensive catalog of measures includes the use of materials from sustainable supply chains as well as, for example, the needs-based procurement and recycling of printer cartridges.
   

• Climate protection measures
  "Taking immediate action to combat climate change and its effects."

  In all areas of our company, we have agreed on measures with which we can actively contribute to climate protection: For example, we are reducing our environmental footprint by minimizing business travel, cutting CO₂ emissions from our vehicle fleet, using energy-efficient technology and giving preference to regional products. In addition, we have integrated many other measures into our everyday operations, from environmentally friendly cleaning agents to a Code of Conduct for our suppliers.
