Responsibility

Every employee must take responsibility for what he/she does and says, but also for what he/she has not done or said. Conflicts must be solved first of all where they occur.

Commitment

Commitment is another major requirement for effective action. To achieve this, it is important to make concrete agreements and to honour them. Those involved in a decision-making process should always present their arguments.

Open to change

Our corporate culture depends on each individual being open to change. Employees should actively support changes and face problems with a willingness to solve them.

Respect

Positive, appreciative cooperation within a team is based on respect. This includes the principle: I will be critical of facts, but not of people.

Environment

Fresh air, green meadows and clean water – the idyllic landscape of the Bergisches Land is not the only thing we wish to preserve for future generations. As a manufacturing company, we are going even further to take special account of the needs of the environment as a whole. We are firmly committed to further reducing the consumption of resources and harmful emissions and avoiding environmental pollution to the greatest extent possible. The use of renewable energies and solutions that save resources is another core concern for Gira. With an ever-growing number of intelligent products, we offer people the opportunity to make a personal contribution to climate protection.

People

Our employees are our strength. As a family-run company, we are deeply aware of this and treat all of our staff with respect and appreciation. Social responsibility is an inherent part of Gira's corporate philosophy and not just an empty concept. It is a core value that is practised and embraced every single day. Equality, freedom and support for individual development, work/family life balance, healthy working conditions, the promotion of positive cooperation and fair remuneration – we don't just assume responsibility for our staff on paper. People are also at the heart of our product development: Gira stands for intelligent building technology with a functional design and tangible added value that makes life safer and more convenient. Despite our international perspective, we remain true to our roots. This is why social and cultural commitment to our region is a matter of course for Gira.

Business

Quality, the pursuit of innovative leadership, and sophisticated design are the cornerstones of Gira's consistent growth. As a family-run company, we have been proving since 1905 that "Made in Germany" is a success story with a future. In order to continue that tradition, we continually invest in development and production, in addition to education and advanced training. We are convinced that lasting success can only be the result of using resources intelligently, protecting the environment, and assuming social responsibility.
