EMPLOYEES
GROWING TOGETHER SUSTAINABLY
We have our employees to thank for our success. They are the “we” in our guiding principle “We deliver” – and they are the key to achieve our company’s goals. With that in mind, we are committed to provide a safe and attractive working environment for everyone who works for Schwarz Produktion.
A STRONG TEAM FOR STRONG PERFORMANCE
With a whole range of opportunities to start or develop their career, fair pay, cutting-edge equipment and much more, we work every day to provide our team of 5,500 employees with the best working conditions going. As a producing company, Schwarz Produktion places special importance on occupational safety and protecting the health of all our employees. For us, responsibility to our employees also means that we stand up for gender equality and take consistent action to prevent discrimination.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AFFECTS EVERYONE
To ensure every employee can work without the risk of accidents, some basic conditions, such as a high level of safety at the respective workplace, are required. We want to set new benchmarks and gradually reduce the rate of occupational accidents that require reporting. We have already achieved much: from 2017 to 2022, we managed to reduce the rate of accidents requiring reporting by an average of around 13 percent compared to the previous year. The occupational health and safety management system, which is based on ISO 45001 and implemented at every Schwarz Produktion location in Germany, is crucial to this success.
SAFE AND HEALTHY
Our Environmental, Health and Occupational Safety (EHS) and Corporate Health Management (BGM) teams are there to prevent accidents at work and risks to health.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AT WORK
Fairness, equality and respect are some of the essential principles of conduct at Schwarz Produktion. Thus, we explicitly support gender equality and aim to promote it further.
WE ENABLE ACTION
We specifically foster the expertise and development of our employees with a comprehensive range of further qualifications and training courses. We work with experienced internal and external trainers in both our technical and our general training and development courses.
In addition to professional qualifications, we also place a special importance on responsible actions by our employees. With that in mind, we keep them up to date with relevant sustainability issues and their added value on a regular basis. As part of the Schwarz Group, we intend to empower and support our employees even more in the future to behave sustainably in their daily work.
