8.1 Employees

Geberit’s most important ambassadors are its employees. They represent Geberit in their day-to-day contact with customers and many other stakeholders. To do so, they need to be aware of what their company stands for and what its objectives are. Geberit’s central corporate and brand values are defined in the Geberit Compass. Geberit aims to act as a role model for ethically unimpeachable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible operations. The Geberit Code of Conduct fills this objective with tangible content and offers an authoritative source of guidance.

The responsibility for all material aspects of the GRI Standards with respect to labour practices at the Geberit Group lies with the Head Corporate Human Resources, who reports directly to the CEO.

Committed, well-trained employees with comprehensive know-how are decisive to the company’s future success. With this in mind, efforts continued in 2019 to position Geberit on the job market as a progressive employer with an open corporate culture and international development opportunities at the interface between craft, engineering and sales. Potential employees are increasingly being addressed via digital channels. Whilst classic job advertisements are still used, employee portraits and success stories are also utilised. Here, employees detail their everyday tasks and explain why they consider Geberit to be a good employer. This is increasingly taking place via short films. In addition, campus recruitment activities were continued in 2019 with appearances at trade fairs and an increased digital presence. There was a special focus here on universities of applied sciences who offer education and further training in the field of ceramics manufacturing.
