Responsible behaviour.
Our sustainability strategy focuses on the SDGs from the United Nations.
The commitment to top quality defines every work step at mey.
This applies not only to the quality of the products, but also to the conditions under which they are produced. To ensure this quality, we hold ourselves to exceptionally high standards for the industry and assume social responsibility for our employees. We mainly produce in our own factories in Europe. Short transport routes are more environmentally friendly and safeguard good jobs.
Our entire company is a family. We communicate respectfully and as equals, recognising and greatly appreciating the contribution made by each individual. Our interactions with each other are open, honest and sometimes even emotional. Constructive criticism expresses how passionate we are about excellent products. We define our contribution to a sustainable society in terms of the following five viewpoints.
1. Product stewardship
2. Environment
3. Supply Chain
4. Employees
5. Society and social issues
We take responsibility. Since 1928.
