We are sustainable.

Sustainability is a matter close to our hearts and has a high priority as part of our corporate culture. We therefore think and act in an environmentally conscious manner and stand for sustainable business and cooperation.ย 

We are aware that resources are not available in unlimited quantities. For this reason, an adequate sustainability policy for the protection of the environment is an essential building block for us in connection with the pursuit of long-term corporate goals. We are therefore working consistently on the implementation of measures that enable a reduction of negative impacts on the environment. IT as a means and product can make a decisive contribution to greater sustainability here. We take environmental aspects into account in our processes so that we can systematically derive environmentally friendly and sustainable measures from them. We involve our suppliers in these processes. We want to avoid and try to minimize environmental pollution in all areas of the company. We promote a self-responsible and environmentally protective awareness and behavior among our employees. We observe relevant environmental regulations and laws and implement them in the company. For us, sustainability also means acting in a compliant manner, i.e. adhering to our Code of Conduct, laws and guidelines in every situation. In order to be successful on the market in the long term, we rely on sustainable corporate management. We are interested in long-lasting customer relationships and want to offer our customers lasting, reliable services and solutions. We stand for sustainable, future-oriented business. To this end, we invest in and focus on forward-looking technologies and areas. Our employees are the basis of our long-term success. We are convinced of their potential and capabilities. We therefore manage and develop our employees sustainably and aim to retain them in the long term. We see the continuous development of their skills and competencies as a decisive factor for CANCOM’s successful future.
