Our principles: How we define responsibility-based management
We define responsibility-based management as the balance between economic interest and ecological and social requirements. For us, being successful in this sense means achieving lasting economic growth and at the same time acting responsibly towards people and preserving natural resources. This understanding is also corresponding to the basic values of the ZEISS brand, which have always associated innovation with social commitment. Based on our economic activities responsibility-based management means, among other things,
- To enhance the efficiency of our products continually: This enables us to make a contribution to providing more efficient medical care for patients and thus, ultimately, to reducing costs in health care.
- To support the personal and professional development of our employees: We consider this a basis for ensuring the long-term economic success of our Company.
- To support international aid programs: The focus of our endeavours is on people. Supporting the development of the health care system in poorer countries and regions of the world therefore goes without saying for us.
- To observe the rules of good corporate governance consistently: Above all, acting responsibly means treating all the Company’s interest groups equally and maintaining an open and fair dialogue with them – something that we have always done as a matter of course.
Our aim is to comprehensively and sustainably increase the value of Carl Zeiss Meditec. In this way we are acting in the interests of doctors and patients as well as in the interests of our employees and shareholders. |  Our principles
