Respect for our employees

Respect for our employees

At Ardo, our commitment to sustainability extends to the heart of our organisation – our employees. As a family business, we strive to ensure our people thrive in their work environment. Hence, we prioritise their well-being and professional development by offering comprehensive support on multiple levels. Respecting each individual, we are dedicated to ensuring that every employee can work in a safe environment.

Taking care of our people

To ensure our employees' health and wellbeing, we support them on multiple levels and provide them with opportunities for self-development, empowering them to collectively achieve our shared goals.

The “We Are Ardo” initiative offers employees easy ways to connect with colleagues from different departments, aiming to cultivate a positive work environment that contributes to the company's overall success.
The initiative consists of five working groups, each with a specific focus: “Friends@Ardo” for social gatherings, “Fit@Ardo” for sports activities, “Green@Ardo” for environmental initiatives, “Talent@Ardo” for external employer branding and “Proud@Ardo” to showcase employee pride. What sets “We Are Ardo” apart is that it was established by employees, for employees. Work should be more than just a job – it's an opportunity to meet new people and engage in extracurricular activities that boost energy levels.

Safe & healthy employees

The safety of our employees is our top priority, and we are committed to providing a safe working environment for everyone. To uphold this commitment, we focus on a range of initiatives aimed at minimising the risk of accidents. Our mid-term ambition is to achieve an Injury Frequency Index (IFI)—the number of occupational accidents per million working hours —of 10 by FY29/30, with the ultimate long-term goal of reaching zero accidents across the entire production chain

initiatives aimed at minimising the risk of accidents.

Ensuring safety and fostering the appropriate
safety culture require daily commitment.
