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
Entrepreneurship

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

D,E & I

Working with us is an opportunity to be respected, included and valued for your unique contribution. You help to enrich the business by bringing your whole self to work, as together we achieve more in a safe and inclusive environment.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are acknowledged by our company as crucial aspects in facing the current global issues of climate change, resource scarcity, and population change. Our approach to these topics is tailored to meet the specific needs of different regions and business units, acknowledging that this is a long and ongoing journey toward a truly inclusive workplace.

A diverse, equitable and inclusive network of suppliers, customers and employees enables the creation of a more resilient and adaptive business. 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.

PEOPLE STORIES

Knauf Digital welcomed me to Germany and gave me the possibility to build my family in a new place – I am so thankful to my colleagues who always made me feel at HOME. The last few years have been exciting and challenging: I had the opportunity to work on different projects within the Global Digital Marketing department, from e-commerce to Knauf.com roll-out and get a comprehensive view on how we steer Digital Transformation and Adoption in such a complex industry. Looking forward to seeing what’s next and absolutely delighted to get to know even more people from our Knauf Countries all around the world!

Valentina Bardelli

Digital Marketing Project Manager, Knauf Digital GmbH
I am grateful to Knauf for the opportunity to help shape a global and scalable ecosystem for data, analytics and AI. In this way, I can contribute to accompanying Knauf on the path of digital transformation - with the aim of becoming a data-driven organisation. I particularly appreciate working with competent and committed colleagues who enrich me both professionally and personally. As a data scientist, it is important for me to have the opportunity to continuously develop my skills and to establish collaborations with academic institutions such as the University of Würzburg in order to be able to categorise technological developments in the AI environment and use them specifically for Knauf.
