WE STEP IN - for people and planet

The global challenges along our supply chains – human rights, fair pay, and environmental and climate protection – require decisive action. As a Hanseatic family business, taking responsibility is a given for us: Since 2006, sustainability has been firmly anchored in our values and shapes everything we do – from product design to production and transport, to use and disposal. Our goal is not only to make a contribution to people and nature, but also to enable our customers to live a conscious everyday life through sustainable products and ranges. We know that we have not yet reached our goal and that in some areas we will continue to be part of the problem. That's why we use our entrepreneurial strength every day to become more part of the solution – with real changes that have an impact. Because only when we go beyond words and put responsibility into practice can we make a concrete contribution to people and the environment.
