Promoting social responsibility
LAPP has firmly integrated social responsibility into its operational processes and corporate culture. We are committed to creating an environment that promotes ethical behavior, social commitment, and sustainable practices. By encouraging our employees to engage in socially responsible activities, we aim to generate positive changes both within the organization and in our surroundings. Our goal is for 100% of LAPP companies to initiate at least one social project per year.
Increase cultural diversity and internationalization
Diversity is one of the pillars of LAPP’s success. We value the diversity of cultural backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives in our workforce to ensure long-term success. Therefore, we are committed to creating an environment that values and promotes cooperation, communication, and intercultural understanding. To support this mission, we provide training to managers on topics such as non-discrimination and combating bullying and harassment, with the goal of raising awareness of these issues. Our goal is for at least 75% of managers to receive training in these key areas.
Diversity Charter
LAPP is a signatory to the Diversity Charter, which promotes the recognition, appreciation, and inclusion of diversity in the workplace. “Openness, tolerance, and diversity have been part of our DNA since LAPP’s founding over 60 years ago. Especially in today’s times, it is more important than ever to uphold these values and combat xenophobia. As an employer, we must take this position,” says Matthias Lapp.
LAPP stands firmly against racism and discrimination and in favor of an open world and society. We live in a world marked by cultural diversity and global cooperation. Racism, discrimination, and marginalization have no place here. At LAPP, we are committed to diversity, tolerance, and equality.
LAPP is made up of talented people from diverse backgrounds who make an indispensable contribution to our collective success every day. As “One LAPP,” our corporate culture is based on respect, openness, and a strong commitment to social responsibility. Our diversity contributes to innovation and creativity, reflecting our global community.
We act according to our values. These values have always been an integral part of our DNA and are reflected in our values compass, which guides our actions:
- We address social and community challenges.
- We respect human rights, the values, and standards of all cultures.
- Our corporate culture is shaped by respectful interaction among all.
- We encourage independent thinking and personal responsibility.
- We reflect constructively on our actions and words.
Promoting mental health and well-being
At LAPP, employee mental well-being plays an important role. We believe that a healthy and supportive work environment is essential for personal and professional success. To achieve this goal, we are committed to raising awareness, providing stress management resources, and offering support services such as counseling. We foster a culture of openness and acceptance, ensuring that every team member feels valued and heard. By investing in mental health, we aim to increase our employees’ well-being, productivity, and loyalty.
Our goal is to have trained mental health first responders in all LAPP companies. All of these initiatives underscore our commitment to a better, more inclusive, and socially responsible workplace.
