Our Values

Performance

We thrive together and surpass our own limits.
Performance is at the core of what we do. It makes us proud and paves the way for our growth – on a personal level, as a team and as a company. We have big plans and set ourselves ambitious yet realistic goals which we pursue with passion. We view the challenges that we encounter along the ways as opportunities. We search for efficient solutions and choose a pragmatic approach. This is how we strengthen our leading position and create added value for our customers.

Respect

We put People at the centre of what we do.

By respect we mean open, appreciative and fair behavior. We talk to one another – not about each other. In this way, we create a culture in which everyone feels valued. We are committed to equal opportunities and embrace  diversity and recognize it as a core strength. Respectful behavior is at the heart of our success.

Grounded

We dream big while staying down to earth.

Our down-to-earth attitude is one of the pillars for our success and stability. Being grounded is how we became a big player and is also key to our future growth. At the same time, we keep our feet firmly on the ground. We focus on our results. We know our strengths and weaknesses, and deal with  them constructively. Above all, we treat  each other as equals and value each and everyone’s contribution.

Diversity in the Schwarz Group

Diversity and Equal Opportunities

We seek to provide our employees with a respectful work environment – regardless of gender, age, skin color, ethnic origin, intellectual and physical capabilities, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation. We strongly believe that diversity strengthens the performance of our teams. Through the aspects of fairness, mutual respect, and appreciation, this is enshrined in our corporate principles too.

Our Measures:

We want to increase the number of women in management positions. We have therefore set up a dedicated mentoring program offering mentoring and support to women. The mutual exchange eases the transition to management roles and shows that: Management is fun.

To us, equal opportunities and diversity go beyond training on the General Act on Equal Treatment. To support collaboration of teams with diverse backgrounds, we offer intercultural workshops to our employees and managers.

We support our employees in the event of short-term lack of access to childcare, for example through the parent-child office. In this office space, employees can look after their children while carrying out their daily duties. At locations where these options are not available, our flexible working time models help employees to balance their family with their career.

Our employee relations consultants are neutral, trustworthy and independent points of contact and support all employees in case of questions or concerns.
