A key aspect of our corporate governance is a shared vision, which serves as the basis for votes at our regular management meetings. In doing so, we pursue an integrative approach that brings together different corporate divisions – from human resources and finance to our diverse business units.
In this way, we ensure that all decisions are made not only on a sound professional basis, but also in line with our shared values and goals. At Hohenstein, we pay particular attention to the genuine esteem for our employees, their high level of expertise and the consistent involvement of managers in decision-making processes. The pillars for a good and motivating working environment are autonomy, relevance and expertise.
Compliance
At the same time, integrity has the highest priority in the company. Our employees worldwide are committed to adhering to our compliance programme, which demands values such as confidentiality, independence, anti-corruption and quality from everyone.
With our Hohenstein Compliance Line, we have also created a whistleblower system that enables all internal and external persons to report possible violations of the law or rules. We always guarantee the necessary anonymity and protection for whistleblowers.
Sustainability is team work
Sustainability, environmental and climate protection is a top priority at Hohenstein. Our team responsible for implementing sustainable corporate/business activities therefore reports directly to the top management to ensure regular and efficient communication. Strategic decisions and progress related to sustainability are anchored in all our business processes.
