Employees. “Providing fair employment and encouraging a responsibility-conscious culture”

A key element of the value-based corporate culture at HUGO°BOSS is the Code of Conduct, which forms the basis for unimpeachable legal and ethical conduct in day-to-day business activities and is therefore binding on all employees. The Code governs relations within the Group as well as with customers, suppliers and service providers. It contains rules on conflicts of interest, health and industrial safety as well as corruption and bribery.

Diversity – in terms of nationality, gender, religious and political views, sexual orientation, age and possible disability – has a high status for HUGO BOSS as an internationally active and oriented company. For the Group this means a non-discriminatory working environment and equal opportunities for all employees. The Group underlined the importance it attaches to diversity by becoming a signatory to the “Charter of Diversity” in 2008.

HUGO BOSS is a member of eight years’ standing of the Germany-wide “Erfolgsfaktor Familie” (“Success Factor Family”) network. The Group encourages employees to seek an appropriate balance between family and work by offering a flexible family support model. Employees at the Group’s headquarters in Metzingen can use places reserved at two child daycare centers and have the option of receiving financial support for alternative childcare arrangements. Annual health days, a balanced and healthy selection of menus in the campus restaurant and a wide range of sports offerings are available to all employees at the Company’s head office. In recognition of this, HUGO BOSS received the “Corporate Health Award” in 2014 and is hoping to repeat this in 2015. The Group provides similar offerings at other sites, for example at Coldrerio and the Group’s largest production site in Izmir.
