Our contribution to ESG and the common good
We believe that only those who demonstrate ethical and ecological responsibility will be successful in the future.
In keeping with our understanding of entrepreneurship, we not only consider the impact on people who use our furniture, but also on those who make it. We act in an ethical and socially responsible manner towards our employees and business partners.
Our corporate identity is value-based, and our strategic goals and activities are aligned with these values:
Overall Excellence
Customer Centricity
Global Presence
Elevated Design
Advanced Sustainability
Mutual Respect
Our ESG commitment
We always rely on solutions that apply generation after generation. In doing so, we are guided by ESG criteria.
- Environmental – ecological sustainability in the interests of the environment
- Social – social sustainability in the sense of ethically justifiable, responsible behavior
- Governance – value-based, sustainable corporate management
What does the codex mean for us?
As a globally operating company, we are committed to complying with applicable laws and regulations and to upholding international environmental, social and ethical standards. Our Code of Conduct is intended to demonstrate our commitment and to further explain our understanding of environmentally, socially and ethically responsible behavior.
Our commitment for the common good: supporting people's health and well-being
We bring quality into every room, to enhance personal well-being.
We are driven by the idea that rooms furnished with Walter K. promote a state of well-being. With each of our pieces of furniture, we want to help create spaces of tangible, lasting validity that feel good.
The way a room affects us influences how we feel. By stimulating the senses, we create a sense of well-being. As digitalization accelerates, our senses are becoming less acute and we are losing our sense of the world, nature, our fellow human beings and ourselves. Without sensuality, we find it difficult to think, feel, be creative and add value. We need sensuality. We need to feel well to stay healthy.
