Responsibility for our Customers, our Workforce and Society
VULKAN's sustainable business model successfully combines economic and ecological efficiency with social responsibility. As part of our social responsibility, we focus on our customers, employees, business partners and the general public. In line with our business interests, we assume social responsibility, even beyond the boundaries of our plant.
Customer Orientation
VULKAN assumes a high level of responsibility towards its own customers and society. In line with our slogan “We ensure that systems work better.” the focus of all our efforts is on meeting customer needs. By contributing to and ensuring that our customers' systems work reliably, we create direct added value for our customers and indirectly contribute to the well-being of society. We not only ensure that the status quo works but also help our customers to improve and optimize their systems.
Social Commitment
VULKAN makes a positive contribution to the common good at its various locations around the world through various activities and assumes local responsibility as a reliable partner.
As a partner to the regions, VULKAN is involved in various areas of society beyond its core business. The focus here is on social, cultural and sporting commitments and initiatives to promote education, environmental protection and health promotion.
Employer Attractiveness
VULKAN is committed to equal opportunities, employee training, health and safety and employee matters. This makes VULKAN not only a reliable and attractive employer, but also a driving force and active shaper of the professional future of its own workforce.
VULKAN gives employees the same opportunities regardless of their origin, gender, age or physical disabilities. In addition to complying with legal requirements, company agreements are used to define processes for equal opportunities, appropriate pay, work-life balance, flexible working hours and work locations and the integration of people with severe disabilities.
VULKAN counters demographic trends and the looming shortage of skilled workers through targeted employee development and promotion. Training and further education opportunities are offered, for example, via the in-house Hackforth Academy and the company's own personnel development programs. In addition, VULKAN employees can also take advantage of accompanying external training and individual measures.
Training has always been a tradition in the VULKAN Group and is a high priority in order to secure the next generation and thus the future of the company. Professional and targeted training can be completed at VULKAN in various professions. These include both commercial and industrial/technical professions. Training in the VULKAN Group is not only focused on imparting specialist knowledge. The focus is also on teaching methodological and personal skills. Individual development is a high priority in order to be able to recruit potential employees for the company in the long term.
Health protection and occupational safety play an important role in the VULKAN Group. Regular occupational safety training, the provision of appropriate protective clothing and workwear as well as measures to protect the health of the workforce and keep them healthy are the key management approaches that VULKAN uses.
Compliance
VULKAN relies on the trust of its customers, suppliers and business partners, shareholders, managers and employees, as well as the public and citizens. This is why compliance is an integral part of VULKAN's corporate culture. Conduct that complies with the law and guidelines as well as respect for human rights have the highest priority for VULKAN.
In addition to the social aspects, sustainability management at VULKAN also includes the ecological and economic aspects.
