Corporate Social Responsibility
AT SKYLOTEC
WE TAKE responsibility

Our company has been an independent family business for 75 years. We are committed to this history. Our goal is not short-term profit maximization, but long-term growth based on sustainable corporate management that takes ecological, economic and social aspects into account.

In addition to applicable laws and standards, our actions are based on our core values and our internal compliance guidelines. Respect, equal opportunities and equal rights are firmly embedded in our corporate culture.

In all our operational sustainability activities, we are guided by the UN's 2030 Agenda with its 17 international goals for sustainable development. We accept our corporate responsibility to our employees and customers, as well as to society and the environment, to make the world a better place. The health and safety of our employees and customers is always our first priority.

SUSTAINABILITY, HEALTH AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT

We aim to minimize risks in our employees' working environment and to promote their health, safety and job satisfaction through health promotion and prevention. With ongoing training and development opportunities for all employees and a high trainee retention rate, we combine an attractive training program with ensuring the long-term success of the business.

Our products are manufactured in a way that conserves resources. Our quality standards go beyond the usual standards and regulations. We want to continue to set the standards for tomorrow's safety for our customers. This long-term success can only be achieved through a sustainable business strategy, creating solutions that create improvements. 

To help protect the environment for a clean future, we are measuring our Corporate Carbon Footprint and developing a climate strategy based on the CCF as part of the transformation concept, with a well-founded target of reducing identified greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% within 10 years. The resulting energy-saving measures, the promotion of mobile working and the reduction of business travel are making a measurable contribution to Carbon reduction, as are the use of renewable energies for electricity generation and the continuous expansion of e-mobility within our company vehicle fleet.

In crisis and disaster areas, we proactively provide rapid assistance to rescue and security forces as a sign of our social responsibility. We also support the Karin Rinklake Foundation, which was set up by our Managing Partner Dr Kai Rinklake and bears his mother's name, in promoting charitable and benevolent causes in the areas of education, sport and culture, youth welfare, science and research, and environmental protection.
