Corporate culture
Our corporate culture is characterized by flat organization
structures, ensuring open and solution oriented communication
across all levels. Our management style is target and results
oriented, while providing a degree of entrepreneurial freedom to
every employee. Moreover, our open door and open information
policy directly involve our people in IFCO SYSTEMS’ activities.
As a global corporation, it is necessary to think and communicate
across language and geographical barriers, and to orient our
strategies accordingly. However, as we endeavour to succeed in
each of our markets, we aim to be flexible enough to adapt our
global strategy to the local market conditions.
Our business model calls for close relationships with our
customers and the local market conditions. To reflect this, we
think globally and act locally. Therefore, our operational staff
is usually recruited from the individual countries and regions
in which we operate. Due to their close contacts with our
customers, they are highly familiar with individual client needs
and concerns, and are conversant with the different cultures
characterizing the various individual markets. This close
interaction with our customers and the environment in which
they operate is vital for our long term success.
As a service provider, the motivation, entrepreneurial attitude and
qualifications of our staff is the foundation for the present and
future success of our corporation. As our managers participate
in our successes via performance based cash and equity
incentive programs, we are creating an incentive for our staff
to take initiative and assume responsibility.
| MANAGEMENT / CORPORATE CULTURE |
Our ongoing staff training forms the core of our human
resources policy: individual training requirements are determined
and implemented through regular evaluation and development
reviews.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
IFCO SYSTEMS is a sustainable enterprise from a commercial,
social and environmental perspective. We firmly believe that
corporate activity and social responsibility are not mutually
exclusive, but rather depend on one another. For IFCO SYSTEMS
social responsibility is therefore a very important component of its
corporate identity. Our values, quality, transparency, respect, and
trust, drive the way we manage the impact on our employees,
stakeholders, the environment and society.
We stay committed to continually improving our Corporate Social
Responsibility performance.
