Socially Responsible Behavior
Our success as an industrial services provider is closely tied to our employees and their expertise, motivation and values. In this context, Bilfinger focuses primarily on the following topics: qualification and further training, occupational safety, personnel availability and compliance.
A large part of our business is carried out by external employees. The same human rights and labor law standards apply to them as to our own employees. The focus here is on working conditions, equal treatment and opportunities, as well as work-related rights.
