Sustainable Development

The  development  of  an  industry  for  the  future, which, at the same time, is ecologically compatible, is one of the objectives to which the company  has  committed  itself  under  the  leadership of  Dr. Claus Hipp. Sustainable development and production is an integrative part of HiPP’s corporate philosophy and can be  found  in all areas of the company. HiPP regards it as its duty to optimize its success in the long term. It is beyond doubt to Prof. Dr. Claus Hipp that social, economic and ecological aspects must be  reconciled: Sustainable
environmental  protection  for  the  benefit  of us  all  along with  a  socially  responsible working atmosphere are firmly embedded in HiPP’s corporate philosophy.

Three  pillars  are  at  the  forefront  of  HiPP’s   corporate policy:


1. Protecting the environment in a sustainable manner. For more  than 50 years, HiPP has  regarded  it as its duty to ensure sustainable management of the environment and nature. As an essential element of HiPP’s corporate philosophy, the spirit of environmental protection has took hold of all corporate  levels –  from  raw material procurement  to waste  recycling. Through ecologically compatible  and  resource-sparing manufacture  of  organic foods, HiPP makes a lasting contribution towards the protection of the environment.

2. Ensuring growth and economic success in a sustainable manner. More  and more parents  want  their  babies  and toddlers to grow up on a healthy and high-quality diet. This  is clearly documented  in the  increasing demand  for HiPP  organic  products.  The  idea  of using
organic  raw  materials  for  manufacturing infant  foods  is  inseparably  linked with  the HiPP brand. Market  research has confirmed  that consumers associate the HiPP brand with the values Trust,  Health,  Quality  and  Organic.  Managing our  resources  responsibly and ecologically  is becoming  an  increasingly  important  criterion  for economic success.

3. Fair and secure ways of living and working together – in companies as well as in the sociopolitical sphere. Acting  ethically  is  a  prerequisite  for  sustainable  economic  success.  To manage  a  business successfully, business principles are just as vital as  are  reliable relationships  to  business  partners or  responsible ways of dealing with  staff.
For this reason, HiPP was one of the  first companies to set up a special ethical management
system that  issues ethical standards governing the company’s conduct  in the market and that
of the employees among each other and in relation to the state, society and the environment.

The Future is in Sustainable Development
