Social sustainability

We consider ourselves to be a part of society – both regionally at our locations and also around the world. It is our aim to help shape this society, both now and in the future. We not only manage this with our products and our digital service tools, but also through our wide-ranging social commitments. OBO as a company, along with its employees, promotes numerous social projects and initiatives around the world.

We stand for these values:

  • Fairness 
  • Responsibility
  • Variety
  • Future-orientated

Fairness

At OBO, we treat each other fairly and respectfully. Team spirit, mutual understanding and a considerate atmosphere are important to us. This not only applies to our employees, but also to our customers, business partners and everyone else.

Responsibility

As the OBO Bettermann group of companies, we acknowledge our social responsibility in the framework of our corporate activities. This particularly concerns working conditions, social and environmental compatibility, human rights and dialogue with all the people involved in the business process. We pledge ourselves to the principles of the United Nations' Charter of Human Rights, to the core working standards of international employment organisations and to other international obligations and industrial standards.

Variety

We live variety and the differences between our employees are one of our strengths. Their different competencies, perspectives and experience all form the basis for innovation and further development and help us to understand the requirements of our customers around the world. Respect, tolerance and solidarity are the hallmarks of our corporate culture. 

Future-orientated

Our employees are our most cherished item and our trainees represent our future. This is why we offer numerous entry-level and higher-level career opportunities. The offer of training opportunities is as wide-ranging as the OBO product spectrum.

Fair Company

 

The Fair Company Initiative is Germany's largest employer initiative. It honours companies who offer young people fair, attractive working conditions and who promote their development.
