The future lies in our hands. We are a modern family-owned company with a long tradition and we are shaping our own future. Our responsibility: to manage Griesson - de Beukelaer in such a way that we are ecologically compatible, economically successful and socially beneficial. And it is sustainability that is paramount to our corporate philosophy and to achieving this.
We see sustainability as a green thread linking tradition and the future for us as a big family. As a family we think in the long term and take responsibility, which means responsibility for the people who trust us and responsibility for the nature which surrounds us.
Acting sustainably together:
For a little change every day
Right along the entire value chain we take joint responsibility in our team and we work hard every day to become even better. The little milestones we routinely achieve are the key to greater sustainability and they propel us ever forwards. We work as a team on innovative and increasingly more sustainable approaches and practices for manufacturing our products, ranging from purchasing, sustainability management, our development departments, and production at our sites to liaising with our suppliers, partners, associations and institutions.
"Our strength lies in the family because the way we think and act is based on trying to make sure that the consequences of our actions will not be to the detriment of future generations."
Anja Ibach
Head of Sustainability and Strategic Projects
Sustainability and enjoyment have always been part of our family tradition – and have been for four full generations. For us it goes without saying that we should think and act in full awareness of the future. This has instilled into all of us the conviction that along the entire supply chain we must act sustainably and for the mutual benefit of our employees, the environment, business associates and consumers.
The future is in our hands
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
Sustainability and taking the long-term approach are the bedrock of our corporate character. Our brochure on sustainability will tell you more about how we put this into practice.
We’re headed in the right direction
EcoVadis presents us with an award each year for our sustainability performance. Additionally, we are signatories to the UN Global Compact and submit transparent reports on our progress.
