Code of Social Conduct
Hans-Joachim Wowerat is a traditional, family-run, medium-sized company. We have always considered ourselves a reliable and sustainable partner – for our customers, our employees and the environment. Our actions are guided by responsibility, integrity and respect.
Responsibility and Integrity
We treat everyone we work with fairly, openly and respectfully. Transparent communication forms the foundation of all our relationships. Corruption and bribery are not tolerated in any form – integrity and honesty are fundamental principles that we uphold without compromise.
Appreciation of Our Employees
The success of our company is largely based on the commitment and expertise of all our employees. We promote long-term and fair employment relationships. After successfully completing their probationary period, our employees receive a permanent employment contract and appropriate remuneration. Wherever possible, we avoid the use of external temporary workers in order to promote stability, trust and satisfaction within our workforce.
Diversity and Equal Opportunities
We actively promote equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion. Discrimination of any kind – for example on the grounds of gender, origin, sexual orientation, identity, or physical or mental disability – is not tolerated within our company. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive working environment in which disadvantaged individuals are also specifically given professional opportunities. We create supportive structures and foster respectful and inclusive cooperation.
Open and Trust-Based Working Environment
An open, appreciative and trust-based working environment is particularly important to us. All employees are welcome to approach the management team at any time with questions, concerns or challenges. In addition, dedicated contacts are available for social matters:
- Liv Leeser – Contact person for social matters
- Leonie Wowerat – Management contact person
Suggestions and criticism are taken seriously and regarded as opportunities for further development. Participation and active involvement are expressly encouraged.
Personal Responsibility and Work-Life Balance
Our employees work independently, as part of a team and with a high level of motivation. Within our business hours, we offer flexibility in working time arrangements to support a healthy work-life balance – an aspect to which we attach great importance.
Social and Community Engagement
As a company with strong local roots, we maintain close relationships with our regional partners and are actively involved in our local community. We support various voluntary and charitable organisations, including:
- Solinger Karneval
- Kinder von Tschernobyl / Solinger Hilfe für Minsk e. V.
- Kinder brauchen unsere Hilfe e. V. (humanitarian aid transports to Sumy, Ukraine)
Partnership with Suppliers
Our cooperation with suppliers is based on trust, creativity, flexibility and reliability. We expect high quality and adherence to agreed deadlines and apply the same standards to ourselves. In this way, we ensure sustainable and collaborative partnerships.
This Code reflects our identity and our values. It serves as a guideline for everyone in the company in their day-to-day activities – both internally and externally. We invite everyone to actively and responsibly contribute to this shared commitment.
