Values and Sustainability

A culture of respect and openness

At the heart of our work is the promotion of a culture of respect and openness. A strong team spirit helps us provide our clients with the quality they expect. Three adjectives guide us in our daily work:

Pragmatic

We work pragmatically and purposefully. We propose things that are feasible and effective.

Clever

We develop sophisticated and innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

Subtle

Subtle: We work discreetly and put impact before show.

Sustainability

We align ourselves with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Our values are reflected most clearly in these seven areas:

Sustainable Development Goals at IRF
Good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, reduced inequalities, climate action, peace, justice and strong institutions

We approach practical implementation in these areas in line with ESG principles:

«E» for Environment

We support the careful use of resources in the office and the use of public transport.

«S» for Social

We support employees in further education, flexible working, pro bono mandates and voluntary commitments in professional organisations.

«G» for Governance

We follow the industry standard “Lisbon Code” via PR Suisse (Link in German) and place great value on IT security and data protection.

We have defined core elements of sustainable corporate management. Their relevance derives from our own self-understanding as well as from the expectations and needs of clients, employees and the market.
