At pema, we have a corporate culture that is based on strong values and mutual respect. Our young, dynamic management sets a good example and shapes the development of the company and its employees. Instead of just giving instructions, they actively lend a hand and are “in the thick of it - not just on the sidelines” — from daily business to organizational development.
Our mission is to support and promote customers and employees alike. Through innovative approaches, we are breaking new ground in order to unleash every potential together. This mission is based on our core values: loyalty, reliability and a sense of community.
At pema, we promote an open communication culture in which every voice is heard. We believe that true teamwork can only be achieved through mutual trust and honest feedback. Our active organizational development, in which we use the OKR method, strategically involves our employees in shaping our joint future. Every opinion counts here, because we are convinced that the best ideas often come from unexpected sources.
We value different perspectives and ways of thinking and see diversity as the key to innovation and success. With us, everyone can and should talk openly about what is wrong - because that maintains our balance and promotes a culture of continuous improvement. We invest specifically in the development of our employees and offer space for personal and professional growth, regardless of external circumstances such as trends in the labor market or economic fluctuations.
For us, communication is more than the exchange of information; it is the base of our trusting cooperation.
As a responsible company, we are committed to society and our local community even beyond our business activities. We see our success not only in economic indicators, but also in our contribution to a sustainable and fair society. This commitment is deeply rooted in our corporate culture and is supported by all employees.
"Our management team takes this seriously!" says Nic Hahn, Managing Director of pema. “Changes are tackled together — with commitment, humor and the clear goal that our values are actually lived out. We listen, communicate openly and work together as a team.”
At pema, we create a work environment in which every individual can develop and reach their full potential. We see both cooperation with our employees and cooperation with our customers and suppliers as a form of mutual give and take based on appreciation, respect and fairness. Together, we are building a future in which innovation, collaboration, and mutual support are paramount.
At pema, we see sustainability as an integral part of our corporate philosophy. We are actively committed to environmental protection, social responsibility and ethical business practices. Our commitment covers various areas and initiatives:
In cooperation with KLIMAKTIV TÜBINGEN, we have been recording our Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) at our sites in Wolfschlugen and Romania every year since 2019. This analysis helps us to identify CO2 sources and take targeted measures to reduce them. We have set ourselves ambitious climate goals for 2030:
Actions already achieved and ongoing initiatives:
Our efforts are already having an effect: With sales growth of 41% between 2019 and 2023, our emissions rose by just 13%. This demonstrates our improved CO2 efficiency and commitment to sustainable growth.
Since February 2022, we have been a proud member of the United Nations Global Compact. We are committed to complying with the ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environmental protection, and the fight against corruption. Every year, we report on our progress in a Communication on Progress (COP) report. This commitment underscores our commitment to continuously improving our business practices and making a positive contribution to global sustainability.
As a member of The Climate Pledge since August 2021, we are committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040. This includes implementing decarbonization strategies through real business changes and innovations, including efficiency gains, renewable energy, material reductions, and other measures to avoid carbon emissions.
Our Code of Conduct sets out the principles and requirements that we expect from our business partners. It is available in German, English and Romanian and underlines our commitment to ethical and sustainable management along our entire value chain. At pema, we are constantly working to improve our sustainability performance and make a positive contribution to the environment and society. We see this not only as our responsibility, but also as an opportunity to drive innovation and strengthen our competitiveness. We invite our customers, partners, and employees to be part of this journey and work with us towards a sustainable future. Through our commitment to sustainability, we strive not only to be a successful company, but also to have a positive impact on our environment and society.
