Our corporate values are based on responsibility, trust, integrity, fairness, and openness. As a family business, we cultivate a culture of humanity and trust. Together, we can create a better world. To be future-proof means for Nölken to anticipate changes and trends that will affect the environment, society, and the economy in the future and to adapt our business accordingly. We do this by using resources more wisely while maintaining stability in society.
By conscientiously and responsibly conducting our business activities and safeguarding the interests of our stakeholders, we build trust, thereby creating the foundation for our long-term business success. Only by taking responsibility for people and nature can we be economically successful. And only when we are economically successful can we create added value for society and the environment.
At Nölken, we understand sustainability as a continuous transformation that goes far beyond the mere fulfillment of regulatory requirements. Our materiality analysis from 2024 has shown us what is important within the scope of Nölken’s business activities. Based on these findings, we consistently focus our actions on the three key areas of product, environment, and people. Our three pillars of responsibility are guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the principles of the UN Global Compact (UNGC).
Nölken’s sustainability strategy includes short-term and long-term annual goals, which are reviewed and set annually by the management team. They address legal requirements as well as strategic developments for our company.
The goals are associated with the three essential areas of action: products, the environment and people, as well as the overarching area of corporate governance. Our sustainability goals contribute to the global development goals (Sustainable Development Goals, SDG) and the principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
