Our Values

It is time to rethink

The way we work and live has direct consequences: for us, for others, and for future generations. We too contribute to a sustainable development and orientate ourselves towards the Agenda 2030 of the UN and the 17 articulated goals. We can – and therefore want to – make concrete contribution to six of these goals. We internalize these goals as our own values and live by them, thus enabling a competent collaboration with our partners, that generates added value sustainably.  

The fight against poverty is near and dear to us. Fighting poverty can succeed once an awareness is established and tangible countermeasures are taken. Therefore, we pay a fair salary to all our employees. By doing so, we not only secure their existence but also that of their families and children. Among other things, our recommended ESG actions support companies and others, to watch out for fair business practices of their respective business partners.

To work in an informal atmosphere, and likewise our team’s health, is of utmost importance to us. That is why we pursue an active health prevention, that secures and increases the well-being of all employees. Weekly Qi-Gong sessions, a creative exchange on balanced and healthy nutrition and finally a flexible working environment and time management enable our team a sustainable work-life balance.

A high-value education starts even with the youngest in our society. A flexible re-entry after parental leave provides our employees’ children access to early childhood care and preschool education. We gladly invest in our team’s individual vocational education and training. We put emphasis on extension of our internal knowledge management system, which allows a purposeful onboarding and the sponsorship of lateral entry employees, that are new to the industry. In doing so, we – as individuals, team, and business – can mutually grow and advance.

We live gender equality, starting with equal representation of our management on the executive board level. Regardless of gender, we treat all employees with the same amount of respect and dignity. Our agile work organization enables allows every team member to better reconcile work and family or nursing. We do not accept unequal structures of payment for our colleagues (gender pay gap).

Organic growth and sustainable economic management are fundamental anchors of our daily actions. Regarding the realization of our long-term business strategy, we aim at a sustainable use of our resources and an environmentally acceptable alignment of our economic performance. As a part of this, we professionally consult our clients during the transformation process towards a more sustainable financial management while meeting mandatory CSR disclosure requirements.

With our profound expertise in the detection and prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, which is based on years of experience in the financial service sector, we contribute to the global fight against organized crime, corruption, and terrorism. On top of that, our specialization in ESG enables us, to guide and advise businesses on their way to a more sustainable and more humane future.

Generate utility and additional value

Our main goal is, to generate the greatest possible benefit and added value for your business. In doing so, our focus is on differentiated consultation and a holistic approach. Taking into account all legal and regulatory requirements, we look for a solution that optimally meets your requirements while weighing up the costs and benefits. In accordance with our aspiration to an optimal, individual consultation, we gladly walk the extra mile.

Introducing competency and benevolence

Due to our very informal company culture, we have a very good overview on our whole team’s skills at our disposal. This applies to hard skills (e. g. education, qualification, and practical knowledge) as well as to soft skills (e. g. empathy, assertiveness, and personal interests), which puts us in a position to cast the right person for the internal tasks and external projects. Furthermore, we strive for long-term, strategic partnerships, to obtain continuity in all our projects and to take advantage of the practical knowledge drawn from lessons learned – for you benefit and ours.

Chances from diversity

International and intercultural cooperations constitute challenges but also offer opportunities: diverse methods of work and communication styles may invoke irritation and intercultural misunderstandings thus block the value creation process. Therefore, next to the mastery of foreign languages, we value intercultural competence among our employees. These skills enable us in projects to understand and integrate various stakeholders and to build common bridges.
