Our products are designed for critical and highly sensitive areas of production. The quality of these products has a direct influence on the health and lives of those people who work with them and also on the environment. We are well aware of this responsibility to partners, employees, suppliers and regions. It shapes and determines the way in which we interact and invest. It is also the decisive factor in the overarching IDEX corporate strategy and has an influence on four key areas:
- People
- ETHICS & INTEGRITY
- Region
- ENVIRONMENT
OUR EMPLOYEES
We are convinced that people are crucially important to our company. Richter is committed to providing a good working atmosphere and supports its employees to achieve their own personal goals. Workplaces are made safer using training, accident prevention and awareness programs. We understand that different perspectives and talents make our team richer. This is why we create an environment in which these things are able to develop. Open lines of communication, management processes and programs are used to constantly promote employee participation and the positive, professional development of employees.
ETHICS & INTEGRITY
We act humanely and with integrity to guarantee compliance with the highest professional standards. Sincerity, honesty, fairness and openness are fundamental principles of the IDEX Code of Conduct and prerequisites for fostering team spirit, trust and excellence. These principles apply to our interactions with colleagues, partners, customers and suppliers. The IDEX Ethics and Compliance Program is designed to help identify and avoid any violations and actively protect our values.
Our Region
It is important for us as a company to maintain good relationships – including those with the local region in which we live and work. Initiatives such as the IDEX Foundation promote the preservation and further development of our society. In addition, we support voluntary work and have a fundamentally philanthropic philosophy. RICHTER has partnerships with schools and universities that offer young people various opportunities to gain work experience. We are convinced that a good relationship with the local community opens up opportunities for young talent.
Our World
The global population is growing and so is the burden on the environment. Consequently, we must use the available resources in a more responsible and efficient way. Protecting the environment is crucially important. By consciously focusing on this issue during the design of our products, we aim to help achieve this goal and prevent any damage to the environment caused by the release of hazardous substances. The approach taken by RICHTER is dictated by the long-term impact of our decisions.
