Focus on Ethics & the Common Good
For us, sustainability means more than just acting in an environmentally responsible way. We take responsibility for people, society, and fair cooperation. Our values form the foundation of every decision we make.
- Economy for the Common Good (ECG): As a member of the Economy for the Common Good since 2021, we are actively committed to a sustainable and values-driven economy. We underscore this commitment by co-founding the ECG Allgäu Regional Group in 2023 and obtaining our certification as an ECG company in 2024.
- Ethical Responsibility: We deliberately exclude collaboration with companies in the defense, arms, and nuclear industries, and base our business practices on clear ethical principles.
- Corporate Values in Action: Respect, solidarity, fairness, and transparency are integral parts of our corporate culture. As a family-owned business, we live by these values every day, thereby laying the foundation for trusting relationships with our employees, customers, and partners.
