We are building our business on the knowledge of our people.
In our Corporate Mission we point out our responsibility vis-à-vis our employees, customers, investors, society and environment.
By adopting Group-wide leadership principles, we have laid the foundation for a common management culture, thereby making it clear that management at HeidelbergCement is based on shared, firm principles. Absolute priority is given to focus on customers and employees, cost awareness, speed, strength of implementation and close proximity to operating activities.
Our management culture is characterized by a strong emphasis on performance and results. Therefore, we have started to introduce a standardised remuneration system fot the Top Management with a large variable component in 2005. We hope to strengthen entrepreneurship at HeidelbergCement substantially with a high level of profit sharing. All managers now see both the positive and the negative consequences of their entrepreneurial activity much more clearly than before.
