Corporate Social Responsibility
There is a long tradition of Corporate Social Responsibility at HARTING. These values have been integral to this family owned and managed company since it was founded in 1945, and have imbued the vision of the HARTING Technology Group since 1996.
Social Responsibility
HARTING assumes Corporate Social Responsibility through its awareness of the effects of its business decisions and actions in terms of economics, technology, society and the environment, achieving a sensible balance between these various interests. Wherever it is able, HARTING is happy to contribute to the wellbeing and sustainable development of the global society around its various operational sites. In doing this, HARTING is following universally accepted ethical values and principles, especially in terms of honesty, integrity and respect for human dignity.
Certified CSR Management System
In assuming its Corporate Social Responsibility, HARTING is adhering to ISO 26000 - Guidance Standard on Social Responsibility – and has a certified CSR Management System in place at its companies HARTING Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, HARTING Electric GmbH & Co. KG, HARTING Electronics GmbH & Co.KG and HARTING KGaA. The company-wide CSR Management System was introduced on the basis of ISO 26000, which was issued in November 2010. Given that this standard only acts as guidance, and is not certifiable itself, Austrian standard ONR 192500 and Spanish standard RS 10 were used as the basis for certification, as they cover the core areas of ISO 26000 and give clear requirements for implementation.
Climate Protection Company
The DIHK [Federation of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce] also honored HARTING for its work on climate protection, energy efficiency and innovation in partnership with the Federal Environment Ministry Climate Initiative and the Federal Ministry of Economics by designating it a Climate Protection Company. To date, 15 Climate Protection Companies have been designated by the DIHK project with the Federal Government nationwide. They might all come from a wide range of industry sectors, but members all share a special commitment to an environmentally friendly and efficient approach to energy going far beyond prescribed legal requirements. Member companies set an example in terms of their commitment to climate protection and wish to convey the message to other businesses that climate protection pays.
