The uvex group interacts with its stakeholders in various ways. Defined channels and means of communication are important for both internal and external contact between different interest groups. Transparency can increase as a result, establishing market acceptance and often leading to successful collaboration. A communication strategy consisting of comprehensive information and opportunities for feedback is therefore an important factor in the company's success.

The expectations of the uvex group vary according to the interest group. Based on the expectations identified, risks can be better understood and counteracted. The binding obligations of each department are derived from the specific interested parties, in consultation with managers responsible for particular projects and decisions. Laws and regulations are often important here, but employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction, management and shareholders also play a key role. In order to continuously improve its dialogue with stakeholders, the uvex group regularly reviews and updates its processes and operations.

protecting people is the uvex group’s mission. This philosophy leads to the pledge of acting not only sustainably, but also with social and environmental responsibility. Our principal focus is on the protection of people. In order to live up to this claim, the company sets demanding standards for products and manufacturing plants, which must also be met by network partners.

The key to success is in the hands of our employees – in line with uvex’s business is people philosophy. uvex therefore offers its employees appealing development and career possibilities as well as a good work-life integration.
