The HÖRTKORN GROUP has been awarded the FAIR COMPANY seal for the first time. This recognition confirms HÖRTKORN’s commitment to being a fair and attractive employer.
The Fair Company Initiative was founded in 2004 by the Handelsblatt and honors companies that are committed to fair working conditions and a responsible work culture. The award is based on a scientifically sound assessment conducted by the Institute for Employment and Employability (IBE). Feedback from young professionals is also factored into the evaluation.
Responsibility as an Employer
As an owner-managed family business, HÖRTKORN stands for long-term relationships, reliability, and continuous development. This fundamental approach shapes not only our collaboration with customers and business partners but also HÖRTKORN’s identity as an employer.
A culture of mutual respect, fair working conditions, and opportunities for personal and professional development are key components of a sustainable employer strategy. The FAIR COMPANY award confirms this commitment and serves as an incentive to continuously improve the work environment at HÖRTKORN.
Combining Tradition and the Future
This award takes on special significance in the year of HÖRTKORN’s 60th anniversary. Since its founding in Heilbronn in 1966, the family-owned company has combined tradition and stability with innovative strength and consistent growth.
This combination is also reflected in the group’s strategic direction: in-depth expertise, personalized advice, and long-term customer relationships are combined with innovative insurance solutions, modern technologies, and an international network.
A Strong Corporate Culture as the Foundation for Strong Customer Relationships
For HÖRTKORN, an attractive and fair work culture cannot be viewed in isolation from its own promise of service. Qualified and dedicated employees are the foundation for personalized advice, professional expertise, and reliable support—and thus for long-term customer relationships.
With more than 230 employees at ten locations in Germany and an international network spanning over 160 countries, HÖRTKORN supports small and medium-sized enterprises as well as internationally active corporations.
The “FAIR COMPANY” designation thus underscores a core commitment of the HÖRTKORN GROUP: responsibility, reliability, and sustainable development—both internally and externally.
Going forward, our goal remains to create an environment in which people can take on responsibility, contribute their strengths, and work together to find solutions to our customers’ challenges.
