SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT

The Covid-19 pandemic characterised 2020 and 2021 at König + Neurath. Because of face covering supply difficulties on an international scale at the start of the pandemic, the company decided to manufacture community masks in-house for employees. Community masks have not been tested for effectiveness, however they are an effective way of preventing virus spread. Since the local fire service also had supply issues with masks, K+N offered their community masks to the Karben fire brigade as well.

In 2020 and 2021 we offered flu and Covid vaccinations in the company. Since the end of November 2021, König + Neurath has operated its own Covid test centre, giving unvaccinated employees an opportunity to take a rapid-result test on site.

In autumn 2021, König + Neurath supported a tree-planting campaign in the Taunus with a contribution of 3,000 euros. This campaign was started by the Rotary Club Main- Taunus and supported by the local Rotary Clubs. They selected robust native deciduous trees for reforestation in the Königstein-Kronberg district, which König + Neurath CEO Hartmut Hagemann actively helped to plant.

König + Neurath supports the UN Global Compact with an annual payment of 2,500 $.

König + Neurath was ranked in 5th place in 2020 in the Deutschlandtest “Sustainability” in the office furniture category, achieving 68.1 points out of a maximum of 100. A wide range of internet sources were evaluated for the study.
