Empowering People
Our mindset is one that combines transformation with corporate culture
Transformation begins with us, which is why our strategic goals have strong links to our Wieland culture. After all, we are convinced that we can only achieve far-reaching change with committed employees and agile teams. With our cultural vision, we place seven values at the heart of everything we do: entrepreneurship, optimism, respect, reliability, ambition, health and safety and diversity.
Employee issues
Wieland relies on a responsible HR policy that begins with vocational training and university studies and continues throughout employee’s entire career path. Our employees benefit from sophisticated training opportunities, generous social benefits and flexible working hours models.
Health and safety
Health and safety are core values at Wieland. We strive to create a work environment that is free of accidents, injuries and illnesses – for everyone who works for us. Our vision is: 100% safe at work. In the 2020/21 fiscal year, the LTI (Lost Time Incident) rate was reduced by 35% compared to the previous year. By 2030, the LTI rate is to decrease by 90% compared to the 2019/20 fiscal year. This is why Wieland has established a safety culture with firm fundamental principles and clear rules of conduct.

Diversity and inclusion
Diverse employees are a competitive factor for Wieland and, as a result, a key driver of innovation, problem-solving and commitment. We are committed to diversity and inclusion to protect and promote the individuality of our employees. This is a core value of our corporate culture. As a result, we are aiming to increase the proportion of women in top management positions from 14% at present to 20% by 2030.
Civil engagement
As a company with global operations and a long tradition behind it, the Wieland Group has considerable social
responsibility. This is also enshrined in our corporate policy. Our focal areas are "Education and Science" and "Social and Cultural Affairs". We bundle our various activities under the motto "Wieland cares - locally and globally".
