What is your vision for the digital and sustainable world of tomorrow?
We are moved by sustainability.
It is our ambition to be the best at understanding our customers' requirements and to provide them with safe, efficient and innovative logistics solutions specific to their needs. A key factor to this mix is sustainable business.
At KION, sustainability has long been on the agenda. After all, issues such as efficiency, safety and ergonomics have always been crucial to success in the intralogistics industry. Yet with the KION Group’s sustainability program we take things one step further, in the full knowledge that long-term corporate success depends on companies aligning their economic activities with the principles of responsible corporate governance.
We also help our customers to implement their sustainability programs, thus ensuring that a crucial ingredient for their success is in place.
What values are important when it comes to a digital and sustainable future?
To be one of the leaders in intralogistics, a company needs a clear direction – today, tomorrow, and beyond. The KION 2027 strategy provides the direction of our ongoing strategic development. Digitalization, as one of the strategy’s action fields, plays a central role for the KION Group. The digital revolution is transforming intralogistics and opening up new opportunities. Digital solutions enable our customers – and us – to develop completely new business models. Expanding our expertise in the area of digitalization is our top priority.
As a pioneer in our sector, it is important to us to be a role model, both internally and externally. Our corporate values – integrity, collaboration, courage, excellence – play a crucial role in this and influence our individual behavior and our interactions with colleagues, superiors, employees, customers, suppliers, and applicants. Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, also means for us that our actions are always guided by standards of sustainability, compliance, and ethics. With regard to sustainability, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations set out guidelines for greater sustainability at economic, social, and ecological level. Companies can use the goals to guide them as they steer their activities in a more sustainable direction. As a company with operations all over the world, the KION Group wants to contribute to the achievement of these goals. To this end, we integrated and evaluated the Sustainable Development Goals when we selected and defined the relevant topics as part of our materiality assessment in 2018.
