We adhere to our social responsibility and maintain an
open dialogue with customers, suppliers, authorities and society. We support
humanitarian relief projects as well as the social initiative of our colleagues, in the form of financial benefits, donations in kind as well as personal assignments. In particular, we are involved with the
improvement of teaching projects in schools and universities.
We want our employees to feel happy at work! We maintain a
co-operative management style giving our employees a large amount of personal responsibility and we reward their personal commitment through performance related pay. Furthermore, we offer a fascinating international work surrounding, which offers a wide range of perspectives and allows both
personal and job-related development. In the business we promote a healthy way of life and strongly support sporting and fitness activities on a wider basis.
As a large transport organisation, we feel obliged to increase the
safety on Europe's roads. Therefore we have developed a Driver Training booklet, as well as a Driver Handbook and developed extensive measures, in order to increase the
driver's professional training. Furthermore, we are involved in various European working groups, in order to improve the working conditions for truck drivers and to standardise the safety of loads in Europe. In 2004, as a consequence of our efforts, LKW WALTER signed the "
European Charter for Road Safety". The aim of the charter is to continually reduce the number of deaths on European roads.
