Our responsibility
Creativity, passion and a clear focus on our goals have driven us since 1946. While the challenges have changed over the years, our commitment to open and collaborative relationships has remained. This applies to our partnerships with business partners around the world as well as to the way we work together within our company, at every level. By doing so, we strengthen trust, combine expertise and work together towards our goals.
For us, responsible action encompasses a wide range of areas. These include the use of energy and resources, emissions, air and water, as well as the prevention and reduction of waste.
Responsibility is also reflected in the way people interact with one another: through mutual respect, learning from each other and fostering a working environment in which diversity, integration and inclusion have their place.
We set high standards for our products, our production processes and our day-to-day activities. That is why we continuously work to develop our processes further and take environmental and social considerations into account in our actions. These topics are firmly on our agenda and will continue to guide us on our journey ahead.
Our sustainability goals
Creativity, passion, goal-oriented action: This has been our driving force since 1946. The challenges at that time were different, but the philosophy remained the same: An open relationship, between us and our business partners all over the world, but also inside our company, at all levels, with every single individual. This is how we create trust, use synergies and achieve what we set out to do.
Sustainable action for the good of the environment and social interaction has always been one of our most important concerns. We want to keep getting better in this too. Sustainability - this does not only concern the climate, the quality of the air, the CO2 balance, the protection of the water, the containment of waste and the economical use of energy.
In a figurative sense, the way in which people interact with one another, respect one another despite individual differences, learn from one another and live in integration and inclusion is also sustainable. Every single company, every single person is equally challenged and in demand here. We have the highest demands. On our products, on our production, on all of us. We go the distance for sustainability and for a good climate. This is on our agenda and is our incentive.
Responsibility as an ongoing process
Taking environmental, social and economic aspects into account across an entire group of companies is both a major challenge and an opportunity for future-oriented development. We see this as an ongoing process that requires open dialogue with management, employees, suppliers, partners and other stakeholders.
As part of this process, we continuously explore how responsible practices can be further integrated into our day-to-day operations and collaboration. Our focus encompasses environmental and economic considerations as well as respectful and responsible relationships with one another.
We want to continue on this path together with our partners, continuously developing our processes and solutions. We look forward to exchanging ideas and working together.
PARTICIPATION IN NETWORKS
The JAB ANSTOETZ Group is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the objectives of the Paris Agreement. To foster dialogue with other stakeholders, expand our knowledge and continuously develop our approach to environmental and social challenges, we are actively involved in the following networks:
UN Global Compact Network
Based on 10 universal principles and the Sustainable Development Goals, it pursues the vision of an inclusive and sustainable global economy for the benefit of all people, communities and markets, today and in the future. Since 2021, the Group has been committed to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
For years now, our participation in the United Nations Global Compact has been a testament to our long-term commitment to greater sustainability.
We now also provide ongoing support to our work in corporate responsibility, based on the Ten Principles and Sustainable Development Goals, within the German network of the UN Global Compact.
Alliance for Development and Climate
Initiated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development in fall 2018. Over 700 members from large and small businesses, SMEs, associations, government agencies, universities, project developers, offset providers and civil society. Definition and Goals: All members are committed to the goal of reducing or avoiding CO2 emissions as much as possible. Unavoidable emissions are to be offset by certified climate protection projects.
Climate neutral together
Under the regional climate initiative of the Lippe and East Westphalia Chambers of Industry and Commerce, companies from all over OWL are gathering to set an example of climate commitment. The aim for all participating companies is to save as much fossil energy as possible while relying on renewable energies. By the end of 2030, compensation measures should play no or only a minor role.
We give what it takes for a good climate -
An interview with the management
An anniversary is more than just a look back at what we have achieved; it is also a time to look ahead. As a group of companies, we are constantly evolving, embracing new ideas and rising to the challenges of a changing world.
It is precisely here that great opportunities lie: for new ideas, for responsible action and for a successful shared future.
