Values That Define Wieland

    The Wieland Group’s values form the foundation of our collaboration. They provide guidance in a dynamic world, strengthen cohesion across regions and functions, and shape the way we take responsibility, make decisions and work with customers and partners. They foster a culture that empowers people to realise their potential and actively shape change.

    Ownership

    Ownership shapes the way we think and work. We take responsibility, make decisions and take action wherever we can create added value. We are guided by a simple principle: whatever is good for Wieland, we drive forward. In this way, we combine initiative, creative freedom and long-term thinking to achieve sustainable success.

    Ambition

    For us, ambition means continuously improving solutions and tackling challenges with determination. We set high standards for our work, because progress arises where the status quo is questioned and further developed. This commitment is reflected in new materials, innovative products and the continuous improvement of our processes.

    Reliability

    Reliability is part of our identity. We stand by our commitments, act with integrity and take responsibility for our results. This is how we build trust with customers, partners and within our teams. Quality, reliability and a long-term perspective form the basis of our actions.

    Optimism

    For us, optimism means assessing challenges realistically whilst recognising opportunities. We have confidence in our abilities and in the strength of our teams. This confidence helps us to actively shape change and to seize future opportunities with determination.

    Respect

    Respect shapes the way we interact with one another in our day-to-day work. We listen, communicate openly and value different perspectives – regardless of role, background or situation. Particularly when working across countries, functions and cultures, respect is, for us, the foundation for trust, constructive collaboration and personal development. At Wieland, this is evident in our international teams as well as in our day-to-day interactions with customers, partners and colleagues.

    Diversity

    Diversity makes us stronger. Different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives lead to better decisions and more innovative solutions. We create an environment in which people can contribute their strengths, and we work together respectfully and as partners across functions, locations and cultures.

    Safety, Health & Environment

    At Wieland, the protection of people and the environment is our top priority. Our commitment is clear: every employee should return home safely every day. Through binding safety standards, clear rules and an open safety culture, we firmly embed health and safety into our day-to-day working practices – worldwide and across all functions.

    We promote health through preventative measures and programmes designed to enhance physical and mental wellbeing. At the same time, we take responsibility for the environment and work continuously to use resources efficiently, reduce emissions and close material cycles.
