Companies are in constant responsibility for their employees, society and the environment.
We meet our customers and service providers in partnership at eye level. The focus is always on solving problems and managing a task. In return, we expect partnership cooperation at eye level.
We stand for our democracy and European values. We conclude cooperation with companies and contracting entities representing or tolerating extreme right or democracies. Our attitude is our drive and motivation to allow our customers a self-determined digital future.
As a company we look at our environment. In office and server operation, we have, of course, been relying on certified green electricity for years, the data centers have DIN ISO 50001 certificates. We participate in the BVG company program for monthly tickets and Germany tickets for our employees - service cars are not available. When purchasing, we rely on refurbished hardware to reduce our resource use. By using our own video conferencing systems, we minimise emissions during travel; Service trips take place with the Deutsche Bahn.
werk21 is part of the Open Source movement and has been committed since the foundation for Free Software. We are firmly convinced that software is better when it is developed open and transparent. We do not understand "free" as a "free beer" - so we will meet our responsibility as a "maker" by continuing to develop, eliminate errors and publicly deploy patches and financially support projects or individual developers.
With our banks we rely on cooperatives. The Berlin Volksbank as a home bank acts as a cooperative bank for the region. With its clear commitment to regional crafts and the middle class, the Berliner Volksbank differs from other competitors. The Ethics Bank is also part of the cooperative banking system: the bank attaches value to ethical investment, current accounts and ecological credits.
Many of our colleagues are mothers or fathers or otherwise bear responsibility for their family. This is always a balancing act and costs strength. For example, we support flexible working time models, home office and flexible solutions for "emergency cases" - and all colleagues are jumping for each other when it "clamps" again. We are pleased that more and more customers are convinced that the Kita theatre performance is important and that a Jour Fixe can be moved. We are a member of the family's Success Factor network.
werk21 is a training company for media designers and application developers. With our participation in the Girl's Day, we want to bring young women closer to technical professions and promote interest.
