FUCHS understands Sustainability as core element of sound corporate management, in which the economic, ecological and social aspects are taken into consideration and harmonized. FUCHS actively implements these three key sustainability targets.

Economic Responsibilty

FUCHS recognizes sustainability in economic actions as a basic principle underlying a long-term business strategy and assurance, and is committed to a continuous and sustainable increase in company value as well as the creation of shareholder value.

Ecological Responsibility

FUCHS develops, produces and distributes application-specific and emission-reducing lubricants. In addition, we are committed to environmentally sound production methods, and continually work on improving our processes with a view to greater environmental compatibility. In so doing, FUCHS makes a contribution to reducing energy requirements and preserving resources, and thereby acts to promote sustainability in the ecological sense. The systematic transfer of know-how at all levels of the FUCHS Group, as well as the control of specified guidelines continuously improves the safety and efficiency of plants, production processes and products.

Social Responsibility

FUCHS is aware of its social responsibility and executes its activities considering this responsibility. We comply with the respective applicable laws at the local, national and international level, and act according to the fundamental principles based on the UN Global Compact.

In the internal social field FUCHS invests in its attractiveness as an employer. The company employs a wide range of experienced and well-trained staff to ensure that all functions are performed by the right mix of specialists and generalists. The objective here is to train young people, as well as to develop and promote talented key potentials in the sense of sustainable personnel planning. Whenever possible, FUCHS fills positions that become vacant with experienced employees from within the company. We also support our employees reconciling a balance of work and family life.

In the external social field FUCHS subscribes to the idea that companies should not be committed solely to economic success, but equally also carry social responsibility. FUCHS therefore supports social and voluntary engagement at its various company locations and promotes academic, social and cultural projects both nationally and internationally, for example with the “FUCHS Förderpreis” at the Group’s headquarters.
