CG sustainability report

In recent years, the important of sustainability has become ever more apparent in the public perception. But what does sustainability mean, and what does it mean for us explicitly? Sustainability is an operational principle. It means a way of doing business that complies with the three pillars model of sustainable development. This is based on the principle that sustainable development can only be achieved by the simultaneous, equitable realisation of environmental, economic and social objectives. Only in this way, based on this model, can a society’s ecological, economic and social efficiency be secured and improved. The three aspects are contingent on one another. Where they intersect, actions are sustainable and fit for the future. For a long time now, creating jobs and producing high-quality articles is no longer enough. As a company becomes more successful its responsibility also grows – towards employees, suppliers, customers, the environment and natural resources.

We want our partners and customers to have confidence in their cooperation with us. We therefore attach great value to ensuring that the production of promotional articles, clothing and merchandising products is carried out under good social and ecological conditions. By complying with our self-imposed codes of conduct, we assume responsibility for our actions and our products. As an international company, it is a matter of course for us to treat the various cultures of many different countries with respect and consideration. In addition, we are aware of our general responsibility towards society, and regard our own business success as being closely linked to the integrity of the locations where we operate. This report provides you with an insight into our activities and actions, with a focus on CSR. We have categorised our activities, and explain their importance for the respective elements. In doing so, we orientate ourselves towards the international UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Our report takes a look at some of the economic, ecological and social topics. History shows that for us, sustainability isn’t a fashionable trend or advertising campaign, but rather our self-image and part of the company’s DNA.

We actively shape our future according to our motto ‘We take care’, which requires ideas, motivation and enjoyment!
