Sustainability

We take responsibility

At QUiNFOS, we consistently prioritize a comprehensive ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy based on the fundamental principles of environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. We recognize the significance of these aspects for our long-term success as well as our responsibility towards society and the environment.

Environmental Protection
We actively engage in environmental protection efforts and align our working methods with internationally established sustainability standards to ensure environmentally and socially responsible business practices. An example of this is our office in Cologne, where we utilize state-of-the-art heating technology and biogas. As a certified ClimatePartner company, we continuously calculate our greenhouse gas emissions, set reduction targets, and support climate protection projects. The ClimatePartner label documents our high level of commitment and successes in climate protection. The certification can be transparently tracked through the associated Climate ID website.

Social Engagement
At QUiNFOS, we view diversity as one of our strengths and a foundation of our success. We value and promote differences in age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, abilities, and backgrounds. As signatories of the “Charta der Vielfalt”, we actively advocate for an inclusive work environment where every employee can fully realize their potential. Additionally, we support, among other initiatives, local projects for children and youth in difficult life situations together with DuMont, as well as numerous initiatives in arts and culture.

Good Governance
Transparency and responsible corporate governance are cornerstones of our operations. Based on our values, we have developed our Code of Conduct, which obliges our employees to adhere to ethical principles and guidelines. We firmly believe that business conduct and ethical principles are inseparably linked. Our whistleblowing system enables employees to anonymously report violations of our corporate policies or ethical standards.

Code of Conduct.

Transparency and equal opportunities are the cornerstones of our actions and our cooperation is characterised by mutual trust and appreciation, which we also show to our business partners and expect from them in our collaboration.

Our Code of Conduct (download here) provides us with important information and guidance and is intended to help us make the right decisions in our day-to-day business, also with regard to our business partners. We are convinced that the combination of entrepreneurial behaviour and ethical principles is one of the cornerstones of our success. We are committed to protecting and preserving this reputation. Employees in all QUiNFOS companies and our business partners contribute to this by acting consistently in line with our corporate culture.

Our Code of Conduct is a central component of our overarching goal: doing the right thing together to secure the future. For us – and for future generations.

Whistleblowing Channel.

At QUiNFOS, we place great importance on compliance with laws, internal regulations, and ethical principles. We want to ensure that our conduct and that of our business partners align with the principles outlined in our Code of Conduct.

To meet our commitment, it is essential that we identify and prevent potential misconduct by our employees or suppliers at an early stage. For this reason, we have established an independent, impartial, and confidential whistleblowing system.

Through our whistleblower and complaint system, the Whistleblowing Channel (click here), we aim to ensure that violations of human rights, environmental regulations, economic crimes, and other unethical or illegal incidents can be reported to us anonymously. Every report can contribute to the early detection and prevention of misconduct, protecting all parties involved from harm.

In addition, there is the option to reach out anonymously to our ombudsman at any time:
