Sustainability at AKE
resources
Environmental protection is a key priority for us. We prioritize resource-efficient practices – material consumption and resource use should be kept to a minimum.
We also integrate our suppliers into our environmental protection efforts. We make sure to order from environmentally conscious suppliers, keep transport distances as short as possible, and use environmentally friendly resources.
Compliance
Compliance is a key component of our management. This area encompasses legal requirements as well as our own established code of conduct. Our aim is to safeguard the trust of our employees, customers, and business partners. Compliance is a crucial criterion for successful corporate governance and contributes to AKE's social and economic success.
Quality
For AKE, sustainability means adhering to quality standards. We operate according to the DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 standard. Our goal is to build long-term, sustainable customer relationships based on trust and effective collaboration through outstanding quality. We continuously improve our quality, conduct target planning as well as risk and opportunity planning, and thus ensure the sustainable achievement of our internal quality requirements.
Our team
Sustainability for us means the responsible management of our employees. A strong sense of community is central to our work: We foster a motivating work environment. We value equal opportunities and diversity. We support our employees according to their strengths. We provide our team with benefits beyond the standard pay scale, prioritize workplace safety, promote health and well-being, and support work-life balance. Our goal is to create a pleasant and motivating work environment for our team.
Training
Sustainability for us includes fostering the next generation of talent within the company. We make a point of training our own skilled workers of tomorrow. We offer young people a future through comprehensive training in an exciting, international environment. We ensure that our trainees are quickly integrated into daily operations, given responsibility, and supported in their development with guidance and practical assistance. Our aim is to strengthen the personalities of our trainees and promote their social skills.
Social
Sustainability is a matter of social commitment for us. We support numerous regional projects. We help disadvantaged children and young people, support social institutions, educational workshops, and fundraising events. Our employees also feel a responsibility in this regard and regularly support us in fundraising campaigns or even participate in fundraising events themselves.
