"Our Values, Our Guideline"

Our Values 

or: what counts for us

• As a family business we think and plan long-term. And all of us are responsible for insuring that this finds expression in our daily activities. That makes us predictable.
• The relationship between our managers and our employees is one of trust, as is that between those responsible for the market and our clients and suppliers. We stand by our word. That makes us reliable.
• Our company is happy to incorporate change in order to remain successful. Yet we always hold to our course: our fixed points are mutual respect and a sound, socially-oriented entrepreneurial spirit. That makes us credible.

Our Guideline

or: Who we are and what we want.

1.   Our Company
As a chemicals company we aim to increase the value of our enterprise without taking dangerous risks or neglecting social and ecological factors. That makes our activities sustainable.

2.    Our Strategy
We pursue three business strands: own production, distribution and trade. Our products and our service are of the highest quality, but there is always room for improvement. We search for the new by continuing to develop the tried and tested while also prudently venturing into unfamiliar terrain. We are consequently growing our international involvement. That makes us competitive.

3.      Our Clients and Suppliers 
We work closely with our clients and suppliers. Together with them we seek improvements and solutions to problems on a basis of trust and respect. That makes us successful.

4.      Our Employees 
Our dedicated employees participate in the company's economic success. The company offers them secure work places and satisfying working conditions and tasks. We prefer direct discussions, as we see problems as opportunities and not a reason for criticism. Our employees work in a responsible and results-oriented way. That makes us socially responsible and appealing.

5.      Our Managers 
Our managers have sufficient scope for their own initiatives and decisions, and bear responsibility for the results in their respective sectors. They have a model function, giving encouragement while also making demands. Women and men have the same chances of promotion. That makes managing in our company an ambitious and varied task.

To achieve the objectives behind our guideline, all of us must make our contribution in our respective fields.

At the end of a working week, we should be able to be proud of what we have achieved.

That makes Lehmann & Voss & Co. a special company.
