CSR

Corporate social responsibility is at the heart of everything we do every day

For us, corporate social responsibility is not about isolated initiatives, but about the choices we make every day. How we manufacture, who we work with, how we manage raw materials and how we look after our staff and customers.

As a family-run business that has been in existence since 1954, we look beyond the present. We want to build a company that remains healthy, reliable and agile in the long term.

Caring for people

Good products start with people who understand their craft and feel comfortable doing it. That is why we invest in a safe and respectful working environment, knowledge and development.

We also take a personalised approach with our customers. We work with them to find solutions, are clear about what is and isn’t possible, and support them throughout the entire process, from the initial idea to the finished product.

For consumers, this means that we operate in accordance with clear quality and safety standards and handle the information we provide about our products with care.

Smarter and more sustainable manufacturing

More sustainable production starts with preventing waste and managing processes effectively. That is why we are constantly looking at where we can work more efficiently and where raw materials, energy, packaging materials and production space can be utilised as effectively as possible.

Wherever possible, we opt for natural ingredients and take a critical look at the origin and use of raw materials. When it comes to packaging, too, we seek solutions that suit the product whilst avoiding the use of unnecessary materials.

Not every sustainable choice is suitable for every product. That is why we assess each situation individually to determine what will actually bring about improvement.

Transparent and responsible

Reliability starts with knowing what is in a product and where it comes from. We work to established procedures for quality, safety and traceability and are FSSC 22000-certified.

We work primarily with European suppliers. Where certain raw materials are produced outside Europe, we select suppliers carefully and check that the raw materials meet our quality requirements.

We are also transparent with our customers regarding ingredients, production, options, costs and scheduling. We do not make promises we cannot keep, but rather clear agreements and a production process that we can substantiate.
