Joint future-proof activities are the foundation of sustainable procurement. Körber, as a globally leading technology group, therefore places great value on the optimal purchasing of materials and services.

To our Procurement and Supply Chain Management

Sustainability is our driving force

 

We are the home for entrepreneurs and a well of ideas: A place where sustainability becomes reality. Our dedicated employees take on responsibility, develop their ideas, let them mature, and use their know-how to create innovations — day after day. From the initial ideas to the finished products, solutions, and services, we think and act as sustainably as possible. We continuously ask ourselves and our partners questions such as how we can save electricity, avoid CO₂, and conserve materials. In addition, we develop solutions for a more sustainable tomorrow.

However, we focus not only on cutting-edge technologies and innovative products, solutions, and services, but above all on the people who are responsible for them. Our inner drive and conviction are the focus of our digital Sustainability Report 2022.
