We take seriously our social responsibility at our locations. Respect for our employees and their representatives forms the basis for co-operation. We support our employees by helping them obtain qualifications and training them to a high level. Our responsibility extends even beyond this, however: The Group benefits from the locations and we want the locations to benefit from the Group too. HeidelbergCement’s geographical diversification in around 50 countries worldwide requires employees to be open, fair, culturally tolerant and loyal in their dealings with one another, particularly when working across borders.
