We are taking responsibility.

Sustainability is at the heart of our Purpose of “Creating a Taste of Home.” For us, this means taking responsibility: for the people manufacturing, transporting, and distributing our products as well as the people who buy and enjoy them. And the people whose lives we directly and indirectly influence through our actions. Taking sustainable action is the cornerstone of our journey towards regenerative business. Our aim is not only to reduce or avoid our negative impact on the world but to improve the state of the earth and, with it the livelihood of both people and animals.

Doing our part to help create a future worth living in is important to us. To address the pressing issues facing us today and pave the way for a more sustainable future, we created the Dr. Oetker Sustainability Charter in 2020 – and thus set globally valid, ambitious sustainability targets for Dr. Oetker. These are paving the way for regenerative business practices that will not only help us avoid harm, but repair damage caused by corporate actions in the past.

With the Dr. Oetker Sustainability Charter, we are committing ourselves to sustainable action. We have set ourselves concrete goals for this, which we assign to three dimensions: “Our Food”, “Our World” and “Our Company”. 30 project teams from different countries and specialist areas are working together to achieve these goals.

What are the nutritional values of a product? How is it packaged? Where do the ingredients come from? Consumers are asking themselves these and many other questions more and more frequently – because they want to make conscious decisions about what they eat.

As an international company, we are aware of our responsibility towards the environment and society and are taking action to counteract climate change.

In 2021, we were again recognized as one of the world’s best employers on Forbes’ “World’s Best Employers” list. This motivates us to ensure that every employee feels at home in our team.
