Core Values
Our core values give us direction on how to act internally as well as towards our customers. We regard respect, team spirit, reliability, and passion as top priorities.
- Respect: We meet one another at eye level with appreciation and tolerance. We make comprehensible decisions. We treat each other openly, fairly, and honestly and promote a constructive communication culture. We accept rules and decisions and actively implement them.
- Team Spirit: We trust one another. We bundle our strengths and share ideas and experiences. We subordinate our actions to the common goal. We win and lose together.
- Reliability: We take responsibility and deliver the agreed results. We stabilize where possible and change where necessary. We say what we do and do what we say. We live our corporate values.
- Passion: We are committed and identify ourselves with our company. We want to constantly improve and develop ourselves. We see setbacks as opportunities. We love challenges and are proud of our successes.
Core Ethical Principles
We base our understanding of ethical business practices on five core principles:
- Employees: we treat our employees fairly and respectfully.
- Clients: we put our clients’ interests above our own objectives.
- Shareholders: we are committed to sustainable performance with integrity
- Business partners: we strive to be a trustful, fair, and respectful business partner.
- Society: we aspire to be a responsible corporate citizen.
Automated storage solutions are high-tech. The basis for this is our genuine high-quality work from our own production sites, the skills of our specialists in planning, production, and assembly, as well as the innovative spirit of our engineers from research and development. For years, we have been developing solutions in the areas of Industry 4.0 and digitalization to offer our customers an excellent all-around service.
As an international company, we love working together, also in cross-functional and/or global teams. Our four core values “team spirit, respect, reliability, and passion” shape our daily operations. Externally, we attach great importance to a fair, open, and communicative cooperation with all our customers, suppliers, and business partners.
We offer our employees an open-minded environment where they can develop themselves in a structured manner.
- Our Kardex Academy offers more than 100 standardized training modules in German and English.
- We offer structured career development/career paths for all employees identified in our annual feedback dialog.
- We take care of our talents with an internal program linked to succession planning and the yearly potential nomination process.
- We encourage personal development by assigning challenging tasks and adding more responsibilities, when appropriate.
- Our employee development managers gladly advise and support further development.
- The annual feedback dialogue/interview identifies individual training needs. Based on that, we offer personalized additional support (e.g., training-on-the-job or subject-related training).
