Corporate Values

Our actions are guided by the principles of sustainability.

We believe that only by combining social responsibility, ecological balance, political participation and economic capability will current and future generations be able to lead secure and dignified lives.

Conflicting goals and interests have to be resolved fairly among all stakeholders. Negotiation processes of this kind must be professionally designed if development is to be sustainable.

This belief guides our work with clients and partners, our interactions with each other, and the way we structure our operations.

We perform our tasks in keeping with these convictions and are committed to upholding the values enshrined in the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany.

In particular, we:

◎ advocate respect for human rights, equal opportunities and integrity;

◎ support the rule of law and civic participation and are committed to ensuring fair negotiation processes, both within and outside the company;

◎ promote a market-oriented, ecological and social economic order and observe the principles of corporate responsibility in our work.
