Acting with Responsibility - for the Company and Society

For us, entrepreneurial success is measured not only by economic indicators but also by how sustainably and responsibly we act. We see ourselves as part of and a partner in the society in which we live. 

Our actions are clearly guided by the Bertelsmann Code of Conduct, a guideline that has been established for many years and which is binding for all employees. This Code of Conduct reflects our company's fundamental identity. We treat each other with mutual respect and trust and do not tolerate harassment or discrimination:

  • Every individual shall be treated fairly, respectfully and with dignity. We are committed to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities and encourage a respectful and tolerant workplace in which everyone’s unique value is recognized. Sexual harassment, discrimination, racism, bullying, abuse of power, intimidation, threats, or any other form of harassment are not tolerated.
  • We do not allow discrimination on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, gender, gender identity or gender expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital or parental status, age, disability, religion or belief, or any other characteristic specified under applicable anti-discrimination law or company policy.

Through our corporate responsibility activities, we assume responsibility - towards our employees, society and the environment.

We pay particular attention to the topics:

UN Sustainable Development Goals

With the Agenda 2030 adopted in 2015, the international community, under the umbrella of the United Nations, has committed itself to 17 global goals for a better future. This includes economic, social, and ecological aspects. Agenda 2030 emphasizes the joint responsibility of all players: politics, business, science, civil society - and each individual. As a Bertelsmann company, Arvato Systems supports Agenda 2030, and with this in mind, we have labeled various topics on our website that contribute to these so-called "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs). More information about the SDGs can be found on this page of the United Nations.
