Attitude towards the environment
We want to meet our ecological and social obligations in respect of our environment and future generations. We regard it as our duty to adopt a responsible attitude to the use of raw materials and energy and we endeavour to optimize all processes in respect of their environmental compatibility. Our Group of companies makes a fair and reasonable contribution in respect of training and employment measures as well as in relation to sport, culture and the community in general. We support the idea that our employees should be active in institutions, associations and corporations which serve the welfare of our community.
We want to remain an independent, family-owned enterprise. We want to be
active in the market as a group of companies, using the established
product names.Thanks to flexibility and technical expertise based on a
well-balanced relationship between the independence of the individual
locations and the synergy available within the Group, we can ensure the
maximum benefit for our customers. Our aim is to achieve, as far as
possible, a continuous development of our business activity, making use
of the products and markets with which we are familiar, both at home and
abroad. We want to make a profit which will be sufficient to guarantee
the growth of our enterprise and which will enable us to achieve our
other aims. In respect of technology and costs, our aim is to be one of
the leading suppliers in the markets available to us. We attach great
importance to creativity and innovation and we will always make use of
new technologies as a means of achieving growth and rationalization. In
order to increase our efficiency or to optimize our range of products we
are prepared to participate in other companies and to enter into
cooperations.
Attitude towards the market
Our activities are geared to the market and its requirements. Our claim
to be a specialist and a problem-solver is supported by our wide range
of products and our global presence. Our aim is to provide our customers
with a high standard of quality and service. This is the only way to
win and maintain their confidence. It must be evident to the business
partners of each company belonging to the SCHERDEL Group that they are
dealing with a single enterprise and that the same standards and
principles apply to each of the various divisions of that enterprise.
The customer must know that we understand his requirements and that we
are making every effort to find efficient solutions to his problems. We
regard it as our duty – in conjunction with our innovation team – to act
as a fair and reliable partner for our customers, suppliers and
competitors, in accordance with customary business practice.
Attitude towards employees
On the basis of the work an employee does for the Company, his job
should be secure. We will use every means at our disposal to ensure that
these jobs are secure. The individual achievements of the employee
should be recognized, thus helping him to identify himself with his work
and to acquire self-confidence and a feeling of personal satisfaction.
Our aim is to encourage the initiative, creativity and personal
responsibility of our employees by ensuring that the individual has
plenty of scope for decision-making in relation to the achievement of
clearly defined aims. We attach particular importance to ensuring that
each employee is given tasks in accordance with his qualifications and
that he receives optimum vocational and in-service training. We expect
our employees to be prepared to work hard, to adapt to conditions
necessitated by the day-to-day running of the Company and to take part
in regular vocational and in-service training courses.
