“Our company and its family shareholders together are committed to protecting the environment and being responsible corporate citizens in all countries and communities in which we do business. We take all possible care to ensure the safety of the workplace and of our products.
As a family company, we strive for the highest standards of personal behavior. Fairness and integrity guide our conduct among ourselves, towards our business partners and the general public.”

Responsibility for our associates and the environment is firmly anchored in Freudenberg corporate culture and therefore constitutes one of our Guiding Principles. The Guiding Principles are a condensed version of the Group’s Business Principles, summarized for our associates and the public at large. |
In 2003, the “Responsibility” Guiding Principle found special expression in the “We all take care” initiative, launched to enhance awareness of occupational safety and environmental protection and to reduce the number of accidents. The 2003 Annual Report presents further information on “We all take care” and the impact of the initiative in the sections entitled “Information on the Business Areas” and “People and Responsibility”. |
