Quality and sustainability policy
Our mission & identity
We work for a transformation of the economy and society to ensure sustainable living conditions, also for future generations. We are committed to transparency and impartiality in our work and we engage in dialogue with politics, administration, business, science and civil society.
For our clients we provide the basis for decision-making and offer advice on forward-thinking approaches to meet the challenges at the environment/economy/society interface, on how to identify risks and how to use opportunities. We develop sustainable solutions in an interdisciplinary overall framework. We develop strategies and measures, we calculate scenarios and deliver quality-assured data.
Our quality and sustainability policy
Our quality and sustainability policy supports our strategic direction and provides a framework for the setting of quality and environmental objectives.
Working in a quality-conscious manner
We see quality as one of the key elements of our success and as an essential criterion for customer satisfaction. Together with our customers, we develop recommendations and solutions that meet their needs, assist implementation and evaluate the impact achieved.
We assure the quality of our work and are committed to the continual improvement of our environmental and quality management systems. Our management and support processes ensure both the high standard of our professional activities and the development of our business.
Our guiding principles on quality awareness contribute to a common understanding of quality in our company.
Living environmental protection
We are committed to reducing the negative environmental impact of our activities and to the implementation of our sustainability goals, and thus aim to continually improve our environmental performance.
We identify and assess relevant aspects and issues within our organisation and determine associated risks and opportunities that need to be addressed. We manage risks and realise opportunities to help achieve our company’s objectives.
As a contracting authority, we make procurements based on the principles of equal treatment, proportionality, transparency and cost-effectiveness. Quality and environmental criteria have priority.
Acting responsibly
We are committed to identifying all relevant legal obligations and other binding requirements, and to complying with them.
We regularly review compliance with legal or other requirements, the functioning of internal control systems, and any conflicts of interest along the internal processes.
Achieving more together
We offer our employees an attractive working environment. We pay particular attention to family-friendly working policies and practices, equality between all genders, and intercultural dialogue.
We believe in a culture of respect, discourse and results orientation in the workplace.
