Social Impact
Corporate social responsibility is a prerequisite for achieving sustained commercial success in the international market. Maintaining a link between economic value creation on the one hand and ecological and social responsibility on the other is therefore vital. We aim to ensure that all of our business units conduct themselves responsibly and sustainably. By doing so, they contribute to JOST’s long-term success and help to increase the value of the company. With regard to future sustainability activities, JOST will focus in particular on the below listed action areas that it has identified.
