OUR VALUES

How important is the culture of a business to you? For us, the way we behave and the principles by which we operate are a core foundation to the company. Our 4 Values are like a thread that links all colleagues around the globe. We think of them a little like a magic formula which helps us all bring our best to the table so that we can enjoy success together. If they resonate with you too, we’d love to speak to you.

Menschlichkeit

Menschlichkeit is accepting that differences do make the difference and we all have a responsibility to those around us.
• Act with social responsibility
• Play an active role in Knauf
• Build an inclusive Knauf community
• Treat each other with fairness and respect
Entrepreneuship

An entrepreneur knows there are worse things than failure, like not even trying. We create a safe, curious environment to let you explore the possibilities.
• Think and act “outside the box”
• Drive change and innovation
• Be pragmatic and take calculated risks
• Take initiatives and be results-oriented

Partnership

Real partnership doesn’t know the difference between ‘our way’ and ‘my way’. We achieve more in a safe and inclusive environment and we want everyone to be valued for their own unique contribution.
• Take on individual responsibilities and make decisions
• Encourage new ideas
• Establish and retain mutual trust and inclusivity
• Act as one team
Commitment

When the world says “Give up”, commitment says “Try one more time”. We mean commitment in the broadest sense, not only to your own career and the company, but also taking that sense of responsibility and respect to your team and everyone who you interact with.
• Enjoy striving to be the best
• Grow and develop our people
• Go the “extra mile”
• Encourage people to take ownership and responsibility

Oliver Burggraf

TPM Coordinator
In my 13 years with Knauf I have had so many incredible opportunities; projects which have a real impact on customers and on the business. As Head of Digital Solutions, I now have the fantastic opportunity to lead an agile digital team that is responsible for the internal and customer facing platforms. I get a great sense of involvement, achievement and satisfaction, knowing that the work I am doing is contributing to the success of the business.

Scott Callery

Head of Digital Solutions
As I've grown in the company and the number of people I'm responsible for has increased, one thing has become clear to me, people and machines offer completely different qualities. Machines can be calibrated to maximise their efficiency, whereas humans have unique areas of excellence, so with support and encouragement they can exceed your expectations

To attain this goal, we strive to create a welcoming environment where all individuals feel valued, respected and engaged. An emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion is key in developing trust, increasing efficiency, and creating new opportunities for the business as a whole.
