Responsibility
Responsibility and sustainability have been part of our philosophy at all levels of the company since it was founded more than 150 years ago.
This applies to the procurement, selection and processing of our high-quality raw materials as well as to our dealings with our business partners and employees. Our attitude towards the community and society is also influenced by this philosophy.
We buy our raw materials from certified producers. We regularly visit the tea gardens personally to get a first-hand impression. Compliance with national and supranational regulations as well as the code of conduct of the German Tea Association are part of our business relations.
We continually develop our extensive quality and control systems, which are the foundation of our responsibility for a healthy, safe and natural food product. We avoid unnecessary materials and continuously improve our processes. In particular, this includes the careful and environmentally conscious use of all resources.
We have a trusting and respectful relationship with our partners. We expect socially just and sustainable behaviour as well as business integrity from all those involved. We behave responsibly and fairly towards producers, suppliers and employees.
As a small family business, we bear social responsibility. That’s why we are committed to social, cultural and ecological institutions and projects.
Since 1873 we have been preserving and developing things which have been proven to work over generations. At the same time, we are aware of the continuity of challenges and will always make our best possible contribution to sustainable and responsible business.
