Corporate Social Responsibility

Our CSR approach

For us corporate social responsibility and sustainable business means a management approach that combines economic considerations with social and environmental concerns as an integral part of our company strategy.

  • CSR is an integral part of our company culture permeating all levels and activities.

  • CSR is a process of continuous improvement and reassessment based on transparent communication with employees, suppliers and customers.


  • We are committed to putting into practice long-term, honest, and credible solutions.

  • CSR is an innovation-driver capable of creating new opportunities. Besides price, quality and performance, sustainability is gaining weight as a criteria influencing the choice of partners and suppliers.

  • Our strategy is shaped by customer needs, benefits and market relevance. However, we also believe in the long-term economic value that investment in social and environmental projects create.


  • We can and should differentiate ourselves from our competitors in the area of CSR but some issues need an industry-wide approach. Therefore, we are committed to cooperation with our competitors and with the relevant stakeholders.

UN Global Compact

The 10 principles of the Global Compact are based on a global consensus on human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and the fight against corruption. As a member of the Global Compact, we support the implementation of these principles in our sphere of influence through appropriate measures in our daily work. Some of these principles are already covered by Swiss law: e.g. labour standards, workers rights and anti-corruption measures. Thus, it makes sense for us to focus our efforts on environmental protection. This means taking the initiative to promote a greater sense of responsibility for the environment and the development and wider adoption of environmentally-friendly technology.

Sustainable Company powered by Expo & Event

Habegger AG was awarded a "Sustainable Company powered by Expo & Events" certificate.

To obtain this certificate, for sustainable practices, we were audited by two independent firms –  CO2OL and Viabono. The certification is based on criteria established by a working group of business representatives and sustainability experts bought together by the Association for Direct Business Communications, FAMAB in Germany. The Swiss sister-organisation Expo & Event adapted the certification and introduced it in Switzerland. All stakeholders were concerned to develop an industry-specific certification that creates incentives to effectively improve the work processes within the company and avoid rating things that should be taken for granted.

We are proud to be among the first firms to have this certificate, which is evidence of our sustainable working methods. For our customers, this provides firm assurance that the familiar quality of our work really stands up to to scrutiny in the area of sustainability as in all other areas.
