Mission of the Zender Group
Innovation, sustainability and agility form a synergy for the achievement of goals.
The Zender Group firmly believes that innovation, agility and sustainability together have a synergetic and therefore a mutually beneficial effect on each other. True to the motto “1 + 1 = 3”, the Zender Group relies on the innovative and agile mindset of all its employees. We want all employees to perceive change as the means to success. Moreover, all the resulting innovations share a special relationship with sustainability, as the Zender Group attaches importance to the protection of the environment and the climate.
To make our mission a reality, we are already active in this field today:
We generate our own electricity, are in the process of converting our fleet to electric vehicles, encourage our employees to use bicycles as a daily means of transport, and already produce particularly durable and sustainable products today.
To develop (sustainable) innovations, the Zender Group relies on agility and cooperation with peer partners, such as start-ups and universities of applied science.
