Sustainability is a key issue for Trenkwalder

Responsible corporate behaviour in terms of sustainability is a key issue for Trenkwalder. Sustainability is therefore the core element of our actions and an integral part of our strategy. Sustainability extends from the actions of every employee to the way in which projects are carried out, occupational safety, quality management, environmental and energy management, compliance and business behaviour through to our dealings with interest groups. Trenkwalder acts in accordance with strict guidelines and principles that are firmly anchored in the company regulations.

Our corporate responsibility is based on three pillars:

Social sustainability:

Corporate social responsibility as a commitment to the people in the company and in society.

Economic sustainability:

Continuous growth based on quality, service and innovation.

Ecological sustainability:

Protection of the environment and natural resources.

Diversity at Trenkwalder

Trenkwalder attaches great importance to diversity and promotes a culture of mutual respect, regardless of age, limitations, gender, sexual orientation and identity, ethnic or cultural origin and religion. We value our employees as unique personalities and benefit from their different experiences and backgrounds.

Diversity of generations

At Trenkwalder Germany, mixed-age teams work together in many departments and offices, as we benefit from the knowledge, qualifications, skills and perspectives of all employees through cross-generational collaboration. For us, employees are important at every stage of their working life.

Work-life balance

Trenkwalder attaches great importance to a family-friendly company policy, because our success depends on satisfied employees. Not only employees who are about to start a family, but also older employees whose family members are in need of care are increasingly looking for flexible working hours, home office solutions, part-time opportunities, parental leave for mothers and fathers alike or sabbaticals to realize private projects when choosing their employer. Trenkwalder supports all employees and finds the right model for everyone.

Equal opportunities for the genders

For Trenkwalder, equal opportunities does not only mean that women should hold management positions. It also means opening up more opportunities for fathers in the area of family life and thus promoting parental leave and part-time work for fathers.

We engage in regular dialog with our employees in order to reduce inequalities and find new opportunities for equal opportunities. Over 40 percent of management positions at Trenkwalder Germany are already held by women. Many male colleagues take the opportunity to go on parental leave. But there is certainly room for more and we will continue to strive to promote equal opportunities.

Inclusion

At Trenkwalder, we are committed to creating a working environment in which our employees can develop their talents and abilities to the full. To this end, we break down barriers in everyday working life and create individual opportunities to cater to special needs.

This begins with the design of the workplace and continues with individual career planning and raising awareness among team members and managers. In this way, we can optimally promote the potential of our employees.

Cultural Diversity

Cultural diversity in the workplace means that companies are open to hiring employees from different backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, religion or culture. For Trenkwalder, diversity is not just an empty buzzword, but a key success factor. After all, a variety of mentalities, perspectives and approaches promotes innovation, boosts motivation, prevents social discrimination and promotes equal opportunities.

Sexual orientation & gender identity

The sexual orientation and identity of an employee is often described as a "private matter", which often leads to the true identity being hidden or disguised in order to avoid discrimination. At Trenkwalder, everyone is allowed to be who they are. Because only an open-minded and open corporate culture releases synergies and promotes equal cooperation. This benefits employees and the company in equal measure.

Digital recruiting

If you are looking for suitable applicants (m/f/d), you have to meet them where they are. That's why Trenkwalder utilises all the possibilities of digital recruiting.

Social recruiting

And to ensure that we are actually where you are, we are very strong in social recruiting. We are very proud of the fact that we discovered the possibilities of recruiting applicants via social networks long before many others.

Trenkwalder has been using social media as a recruiting channel for many years: around 40 per cent of all applicants become aware of us through Facebook campaigns, Facebook job ads or our Facebook company page.

We search for and approach candidates directly via the career networks (active sourcing), provide our followers with interesting news and are in dialogue with you in various online communities.
