Ethical business practices, economic success
How Tchibo takes responsibility for sustainable growth and uses opportunities.
As a company operating on a global scale, Tchibo takes responsibility for sustainable development. We are convinced that lasting value can only be created by pairing ethical behaviour with business competence. We can only continue to successfully run our business in the future if our business practices do not harm people or the environment. We work hard every day to realise a value-oriented business management system and monitor this system by means of efficient structures and processes.
Our success is built on the trust our business environment places in us. Customers, business partners and governmental and non-governmental organisations know that we want to create lasting value and that we base our actions on the principles of good and responsible business management. This is our Corporate Governance concept.
Responsible business practices for sustainable growth
Tchibo GmbH is a complete subsidiary of maxingvest ag, which bases its sustainable growth efforts on a value-oriented management system. We want to use our unique business model in the future to qualitatively and emotionally reinforce the brand. Therefore, sustainability has been an integral part of our corporate strategy since 2006 and is an indispensable component of our business activities.
Management bodies work together efficiently
The Management and Supervisory Boards at Tchibo GmbH and maxingvest ag cooperate closely and intensively with one another. Tchibo’s Management Board regularly provides timely and comprehensive reports to the Supervisory Boards, covering all relevant questions of business procedure, our business performance and the company’s current risk situation.
Our corporate communication – open and transparent
Our open and active corporate communication system allows us to provide comprehensive information to our societal stakeholders. At the end of each business year, Tchibo GmbH issues a sustainability report, describing its environmental and social achievements, and maxingvest ag integrates the subject of sustainability into its annual report for the Tchibo and Beiersdorf subgroups.
We use various structures and measures to ensure that our corporate governance concept is alive in the company each and every day, that we recognise possible risks early on – and that we create trust.
