Corporate Responsibility
Sustainability is important to us
All aspects of corporate Social Responsibility and indeed sustainability are an integral part of BLANCO’s company culture. Responsibility, whether for our employees, customers or partners, our environment and society at large is part of this approach at BLANCO, and informs our actions and thinking on a day-to-day basis.
Individual accountability
One of the distinctive characteristics of working at BLANCO is that employees are given plenty of scope for self-responsibility, as we place a great deal of faith in them. However, this freedom goes hand-in-hand with the expectation that every employee will assume personal responsibility for making the most of this scope in the interests of the company. Employee satisfaction and BLANCO’s attractiveness as an employee are largely based on this coupling of the values of trust and responsibility.
Collective responsibility
Companies have a particular responsibility to society. BLANCO welcomes this responsibility and lives up to it in a large number of ways. As a family-owned company, BLANCO has prized sustainability and the the appreciation of values from the very outset.
BLANCO is cooperating with international organisation arche noVa e.V.
The five corporate values of Excellence, Reliability, Collaboration, Empowerment and Responsibility are essential to the BLANCO strategy. They serve as a benchmark for our decisions and actions in day-to-day business and beyond. BLANCO is committed to social responsibility, for instance. As a globally successful specialist for the kitchen water place, the company is extremely keen to help people in international crisis areas who find it difficult or impossible to access drinking water.
As such, since 2019 BLANCO has been supporting arche noVa – Initiative für Menschen in Not e.V., a non-profit organization committed to this goal. BLANCO’s partnership with the Dresden-based non-profit organization is focused on the construction of mechanical water pumps and training locals to maintain and repair the pumps independently. This markedly improves living conditions for the local people. “Water is vital. arche noVa is a good match for BLANCO, not just because of its international orientation, but also due to its connection with water and conscious handling of this valuable resource,” says Rüdiger Böhle, CFO of the BLANCO Group.
