Our action fields

A skilled, effective and committed workforce is the basis for our business success and for the further development of our group. To position ourselves as an attractive employer for the future, we regularly question our offers and react to the requirements of the current job market. We are taking care of the different concerns and interests of our employees. We offer interesting tasks, an attractive working environment and attach great importance to a good work-life balance, competitive and gender-blind compensation, and a good working atmosphere. To ensure success and motivation for all, we qualify our employees and promote their development. The interests of employees are upheld by works councils and their various committees and by the employee representatives on the Supervisory Board of Berentzen-Gruppe AG.

We make our contribution to sustainable development by continuously improving our performance and constantly learning. We take responsibility for environmentally friendly production in all areas of our group. With our sustainability strategy and the "Hundred percent resource efficiency" objective, we are placing an even stronger focus on resource efficiency. As an operator of mineral springs, we know how precious water is as a resource. We therefore attach great importance to sustainable use. Although water is not scarce at our production facilities, the resource-conserving use of the group’s own springs minimises environmental impacts and preserves the basis for beverage production over the long term. Emissions of climate-harming greenhouse gases resulting from the use of energy represent a major ecological impact of our business activity. We have introduced an energy management system certified under ISO 50001 to optimise energy consumption, among other things.

We are proud of our products, which provide enjoyment and joie de vivre to consumers. However, excessive consumption of alcoholic and sugary beverages can also have negative effects on the health of consumers. For this reason, we see it as our social duty to advertise and market our products responsibly. We want to develop products that make a notable contribution to combining economic success and ecological progress. We strive to achieve this ecological progress in all stages of the value creation process. Our Supplier Code establishes a shared understanding of appropriate living and working conditions of employees. It is aligned with the up-to-date versions of the ETI (Ethical Trading Initiative) Base Code, the Principles of the ILO (International Labour Organisation) and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. Our Supplier Code forms the basis for lasting business relationships. By adopting it, we began a process of intensifying the dialog with our suppliers on the subject of sustainability issues. All suppliers are obliged to acknowledge and comply with the supplier code. By joining the supplier platform SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange), we took another important step to continuously enhance transparency and safety in the supply chain.
