Common good balance sheet from Fahnengärtner

We live and act in accordance with the concept of the common good to ensure a humane way of working together and for our next generation.

Practiced values such as social commitment, sustainable and environmentally conscious action as well as family-friendly, health-conscious, appreciative and talent-oriented employee management are important components of our corporate philosophy.

We show responsibility

Responsible treatment of people and nature, as well as sustainable business practices, are important to us. These core values are an integral part of our corporate vision and form the basis for sustainable business practices in a respectful cooperation.

It is particularly important to us not only to make internal production steps as resource-efficient and sustainable as possible, but also to consider the entire value creation process. In order to make all measures visible, we underwent an external audit in 2019 as part of the Economy for the Common Good.

The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals

We want to be active shapers of a future worth living!

Global resource change, climate change, demographic developments and their consequences are challenges that we must and want to face. That is why we are committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) issued by the United Nations in addition to our focus on the common good.

The SDGs call for joint solutions to global challenges and form a global target framework for the implementation of defined sustainability goals. By consciously integrating and implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals into our business models, we are making our contribution to achieving global sustainability goals.

You can find more information on the SDGs on the UN website.

Linking the Economy for the Common Good with the SDGs

We also link the Economy for the Common Good with the UN's SDGs. This takes us one step further and places our sustainable actions within a global objective. This expansion helps us to permanently take the right steps towards the future. Under the motto "Together we can make a difference", we also want to be an inspiration for other companies.
