Values of the HÖRMANN Group
We are actively driving development in the world of high technology. That is why we continuously reinvent ourselves. The more dynamic the change, the more important it is to take a clear stand: The HÖRMANN Group is more than the sum of its companies. We are a team. Togetherness is a strength! We work together in line with the values that made our family company what it is today. They are deeply rooted within us – and keep us on our growth path.

Warum sind Werte wichtig?
Wir sind der Meinung, dass Werte eine sehr hohe Bedeutung für unser Verhalten und unsere Kommunikation im Arbeitsalltag, für den Umgang mit Kunden, Lieferanten und Geschäftspartnern und selbstverständlich auch für unser Miteinander haben. Werte sind ein gemeinsames – meistens nicht offen ausgesprochenes oder klar formuliertes – Grundverständnis in einer Gemeinschaft über das, was uns wirklich wichtig ist, uns prägt, unser Denken, Fühlen und Handeln leitet. Gemeinsame und gelebte Werte sind ein spürbarer Ausdruck unserer Unternehmenskultur.
Die HÖRMANN Gruppe ist durch eine hohe Vielfalt mit vielen unterschiedlichen Geschäften und 27 Gesellschaften gekennzeichnet, die an verschiedenen Standorten ihre regionalen Wurzeln und Prägungen haben und die alle eine andere Historie in der Unternehmensentwicklung aufweisen. Insbesondere die mehr als 2.800 Mitarbeiter haben einen vielfältigen kulturellen Hintergrund, verschiedenste Ausbildungen und Erfahrungen sowie ihre ganz besondere individuelle Persönlichkeit. Und doch verbindet uns bei HÖRMANN so etwas wie ein unsichtbares, starkes Band: unsere Werte!
Wie werden die Werte erlebbar?
Jeder Mensch und jeder Mitarbeiter in der HÖRMANN Gruppe hat seine eigene Interpretation der vorgestellten Werte und vor dem Hintergrund seiner individuellen Erfahrungen und eigenen Erlebnisse werden aus dem beruflichen Alltag etwas anderes mit den Werten verbunden.
Trotz aller Diversität und Individualität bilden die Werte der HÖRMANN Gruppe ein starkes, unsichtbares Band, das uns alle miteinander verbindet und in eine erfolgreiche Zukunft leitet. Wenn wir unsere Verantwortung wahrnehmen und diese Werte leben, wenn wir mit Wertschätzung und Respekt zusammenarbeiten, dann werden wir auch gemeinsam unsere Zukunft erfolgreich gestalten.

»Bei aller Diversität und Individualität bilden die Werte der HÖRMANN Gruppe ein starkes, unsichtbares Band, das uns alle miteinander verbindet und in eine erfolgreiche Zukunft leitet.«

If employees are in doubt as to whether a certain behaviour is consistent with these guiding principles or suspect that an irregularity may have occurred, they are requested to report this. They can do this internally by informing their supervisor or the responsible compliance officer. Details of the employees responsible for compliance at the individual HÖRMANN Group companies are displayed on noticeboards and made available by e‑mail or in the intranet and can also be requested from the management of the respective company. Employees can also consult the Compliance Officer of HÖRMANN Industries.
All employees are expressly requested to make use of one of these channels for reporting irregularities. No employee who reports an irregularity should fear being placed at an unfair disadvantage as a result, even if the notification ultimately proves to be unjustified.
