Guidelines

Society and Environment

Environmental protection affects every area of our financial actions, the development and production of our products, our workflows and, last but not least, our company's social responsibility. Energy saving is a precautionary form of environmental protection, and we ensure that we consistently keep our demands on the environment as low as possible with the operation of our corporate fields of activity. We believe our task here is to create high-grade, quality products – safely, cost-effectively and environmentally friendly.

We ensure we select environmentally friendly procedures with procurement and production, over the product's service life, and on through to the recycling and disposal of our products. Our objective is to prevent and reduce environmental pollution to an absolute minimum – even more than legally required – with a continuous improvement process. As a rule of thumb we avoid residual materials, however if this is unavoidable, they are reused as much as possible as recyclable resources.

Compliance with the respective legislator's environmental protection laws and our environmental policy is a matter of course for all of our employees. Our quality and environment management ensures that our environmental policy is effectively implemented. The technical and organizational procedures required in this respect are reviewed and enhanced regularly.

One of our management's special tasks is to create the conditions to ensure that personal safety and environmental protection are observed everywhere throughout the company. Transparency and open internal and external communication make it easier for our company to address the environmental awareness and understanding of both our employees and our customers and suppliers, and to also promote the social acceptance of our products.

    
Corporate Philosophy

We are an international, solution-oriented thin client provider, and we support our customers around the world directly through our sales offices and indirectly through our local partners. All IGEL business units – both at home and abroad – enjoy the same high esteem. With the consistent and goal-oriented use of alternative marketing channels we will also expand our future presence. By applying the diligent and careful assessment of opportunities and risks, we consistently target long-term profit optimization. This is an essential requirement for

•    strengthening our capital base,
•    securing our existence,
•    ensuring future growth opportunities and
•    opening up new and more profitable business areas.

We are a company that is dedicated to the thin client market. Our focus towards the requirements of this market strengthens our competence in providing new, tailor-made products and services for customers from one single source - time and time again. We face the constant challenges of competition in all specialist areas with innovative and extremely flexible solutions. Our company is private and its shares are not tradable. We believe in collaboration so that we can adjust time and time again to the rapidly changing markets and challenges we must face. Maintaining corporate independence is an indispensable requirement of for us since it allows us to focus and develop long term solutions to customer problems.


Customers and Suppliers

Reliable, open and honest cooperation defines our relationship with our customers and suppliers. We know that they expect reliability and consistency from us, and we act accordingly. With new ideas we provide innovative solutions and services to the advantage of our business partners in rapidly changing markets. Satisfaction and benefits for our business partners are the basic principles of our daily operations. To achieve this we address our partners proactively and offer corresponding solutions for their requirements. We advise our business partners competently and professionally. We use the most modern technology, presentation and communication resources in doing so. Open-mindedness is a matter of course for us.
   

Employees and Teamwork

Equality, fairness and the incorporation of entitled social rights define our relationship with our employees. Partnership with one another is a prerequisite for a healthy team spirit and is characterized by fair and open communication. The career opportunities in our company have nothing to do with education, race, marital status or gender. We support our employees and evolve together with them. Our continuous learning and personal commitment help us to overcome the challenges of the market. Individual employee development (human potential) makes a considerable contribution to the successful expansion of our company.

Clearly defined goals are the most important management tool in our company. These result in unambiguous responsibilities and the necessary room for the individual to develop. The transferral of assignments is closely linked with the delegation of corresponding competencies and the acceptance of personal responsibility. We demand performance and a global outlook from ourselves, which is rewarded with a profit and performance-oriented remuneration. Self-awareness, perseverance and critical loyalty are among our core characteristics. Where errors occur it is not the search for the responsible party that we focus on - we focus on solving the problem and limiting damage; we make sure we learn from mistakes.

These guidelines are the foundation of our corporate dealing and form the basis of our corporate culture, which is designed to produce peak performance.
