We have been awarded the Hamburg Family Seal, which recognises our ongoing commitment to helping employees balance work and family life.

The seal is awarded to companies that actively address the diverse needs of employees with family commitments. For us, family friendliness is not based on fixed rules, but on flexibility, dialogue and individual solutions.

As a family business, we take a long-term perspective in our collaboration. Our founder often emphasises that we think in terms of decades rather than quarters. This long-term view shapes how we deal with issues such as personnel development, collaboration and work-life balance.

Work-life balance is anchored in our corporate principles and is taken into account in personnel development and planning. Employees who work part-time or return from parental leave are included in development processes. During family-related absences, we remain in contact depending on individual preferences. Family-related aspects are also taken into account in holiday and capacity planning wherever possible.

The arrangements are discussed on a case-by-case basis, weighing up personal needs and business requirements. This renewed award confirms our approach and encourages us to continue developing a working environment that supports different stages of life in the long term.
