Values and responsibility

As a traditional family business, it is part of HELM's DNA to take responsibility for future generations. In order to achieve these sustainability goals, we work hand in hand with our partners on the further development of the company.

"It is up to us, the third generation, to lead HELM sustainably – with a clear focus on society, the environment and our business."

Stephan Schnabel, CEO

HOW WE ELEVATE IMPACT

We are constantly developing HELM. In doing so, we examine all aspects of our activities – and work to achieve a balance between economic, social and ecological interests.

Redefining growth

In a dynamic world full of change, it is important to realise that our success extends far beyond economic indicators. We are developing HELM in new directions and see this process as an opportunity to help shape the world.

Ecological responsibility

One of the chemical industry's most important tasks is to develop sustainable products. In this way, we can counteract the creeping loss of biodiversity and the global scarcity of resources. The entire HELM Group stands for this positive commitment.

Social responsibility

HELM wants to contribute to a fairer society. Our aim is to improve the unequal distribution of education and opportunities around the world, to work towards gender equality and to strengthen community cohesion.

Achieving more together

HELM unites forces for change. Collaborating and bundling our knowledge is the key to our joint success. Our employees, partners and customers are committed to our shared vision of driving progress in the world and the industry.

Our VISION

HELM uses its opportunities to drive innovation and sustainable solutions – and is pursuing this path alongside its partners. HELM is guided by its values: WE CREATE. WE CARE. WE ENJOY.

Our MISSION

Hand in hand with our partners, we drive sustainable business. Together, we take responsibility for positively influencing the climate, biodiversity and social equality.

Our values

Cooperation – according to the HELM principle.

We Create

Creating something new: We work together and look for new possibilities, perspectives and opportunities. With our passion for solutions, we ensure that everyone involved benefits: customers, partners and our teams. Mutual trust in each other and our vision allows us to act with courage.

We Care

Taking responsibility for future generations: We act socially, economically and ecologically and create long-term added value. In doing so, we focus on our strengths and on the well-being and development of all teams.

We Enjoy

Living passion: We love what we do. We value others and their contribution to our vision. We discuss, listen and develop our own opinions based on different perspectives. We share our knowledge so that everyone can fulfil their potential.

Challenges to overcome #HELM2030

We want to do good with our entrepreneurial activities and see the challenges of our time as opportunities. In order to fulfil this major task, we use our knowledge, capital and human skills to the best of our ability every day.

climate change

We are aware that the chemical industry plays a key role in climate change. We want to seize this opportunity. It is up to us to counteract climate change. To this end, we are establishing our future strategy – HELM2030.

Loss of biodiversity

It is part of our mission to preserve biodiversity. Sustainable decisions and innovations are important in order to reduce the global impact of our business.

Social unequality

Unequal distribution of resources, opportunities and power: We want to break the cycle that leads to structural disadvantage and promote social and gender equality worldwide.

"We work with reliable, responsible partners to achieve a strong, sustainable impact."
