Our commitment
The three dimensions of sustainability
Ecological
We take proactive steps to keep our business activities as climate-friendly as possible. At our Hamburg headquarters, we already use 100% renewable electricity, work mainly paperless, and support eco-friendly mobility with electric and hybrid cars as well as free public transport tickets or discounted bikes.
Economical
For ACT, economic sustainability means doing business successfully and responsibly over the long term. That’s why we focus on lasting partnerships, diversified supply chains, and fair conditions - offering prices that are attractive to our customers while ensuring fair remuneration along the entire value chain. In this way, we create sustainable value for everyone involved.
Social
As a family-run company, the well-being of everyone along our value chain is a key concern for us. We offer our employees attractive benefits. In addition, we are committed to social responsibility and fair working conditions. With our code of conduct and our membership of Sedex, through which we are connected with many of our suppliers, we create transparency and work together to improve social standards throughout our entire supply chain.
