We are keen to assume social responsibility because we are convinced that we can have a positive influence on communities and people. The focal point of our activities and efforts is therefore each one of us as an individual. Our concern is about the employees in our company and about the people around us. Our concern is about society.

 

Taking ESG factors into account is a fundamental component of the organisation and operational processes at MÄHREN AG. We are convinced that acting sustainably will not only make MÄHREN AG futureproof but will also benefit our business partners and tenants. We attach great importance to adopting a strategic approach and to resolutely implementing ESG criteria in our daily work processes. Our activities are geared to tackling challenges head on and in a spirit of responsibility with tenable solutions.

 

To ensure this, we make sure that our employees work together to achieve the common ESG goals so that at the same time the emission limits laid down in the Paris climate agreement are met. MÄHREN AG subjects the application of the three ESG areas to regular internal review and enhancement.
