Our social responsibility

At Hermes Einrichtungs Service (HES), we are aware of our social responsibility, which is deeply rooted in our corporate philosophy, and we fulfill it through initiatives and engagements at various levels. With our values-oriented approach, we contribute to shaping the future of our society in a positive way.

Cultural transformation 4.0 at HES

“Courage for change” has always been the motto of the cultural transformation 4.0 of the Otto Group, to which we also belong as part of the Hermes Group. Since 2015, we have been radically questioning our mindset and existing structures in order to continuously reshape our present and future. We approach this transformation together, transcending hierarchies and roles. As a result, our entire group has become more flexible and can respond more agilely to disruptive processes such as digitization. This makes us future-ready.

Our system of values

In the fall of 2022, the HES value system was developed by employees for employees and serves as a comprehensive instrument for orientation and as a practical tool in everyday working life. This collaborative approach was met with broad approval and gratitude, with participants actively integrating the new value system during the development phase.

Colorful Diversity at HES

Our lived diversity promotes creative, fast, and innovative progress to remain competitive amidst changes. We orient ourselves towards the “Charta der Vielfalt” (Charter of Diversity), the largest employer initiative for promoting diversity in German companies. In doing so, we create an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust, and appreciation – and experience the positive impact on our company on a daily basis.

Rewarding voluntary work – social volunteering

To appreciate the private social commitment of our employees, the project “Rewarding of Your Volunteer Work” was launched in early 2023. Every employee who volunteers for at least 8 hours per year in their free time for a non-profit organization (NPO) or a voluntary association is entitled to an additional day of leave per year to acknowledge their efforts.

Donations & Sponsorship

Donation and sponsorship activities are an integral part of our social commitment. Over the years, we have established long-term partnerships with local clubs and institutions. We also support one-time projects and initiatives in the local area.
Hermes Charity Run

Every year in late summer, running shoes are laced up for a good cause at the Hermes Charity Run. Together with Hermes Fulfillment, we are organizing a charity run for ambitious hobby runners. For every kilometer run, 1 euro goes into the donation fund for social institutions in the region.
