The S in ESG stands for Social.
The social dimension of ESG describes how companies assume responsibility toward people. It includes, among other aspects, fair working conditions, equal opportunities, health and safety, employee development, and respect for human rights throughout the entire value chain.
Our social initiatives include, among others:
- Membership in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)
- Occupational health and safety in line with the Vision Zero principle
- Fair working conditions and appropriate remuneration at all locations
- Promotion of equal opportunities and employee development
- Respect for human and labor rights
Social responsibility plays an important role at ARNO. As a family-owned company with more than 85 years of history, our actions are guided by continuity, reliability, and long-term relationships.
This approach shapes how we interact with employees, business partners, and communities. We provide stable and safe working conditions, promote a culture of mutual respect, and act with a long-term, sustainable perspective.
The UN Global Compact is the world’s largest initiative for sustainable and responsible corporate governance under the auspices of the United Nations. It defines ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environment, and anti-corruption.
The Corporate Social Responsibility initiative of the UN Global Compact supports companies in integrating these principles into their strategies, processes, and corporate culture.
We are a member of the UN Global Compact and therefore also part of the Global Compact Network Germany, which supports companies in the practical implementation of the principles.

Vision Zero is an international prevention initiative with the goal of eliminating occupational accidents and work-related illnesses through prevention. It takes a holistic view of work, encompassing the dimensions of safety, health, and well-being.
We practice safety leadership and actively support Vision Zero. The safety and health of our employees are a high priority for us, and prevention and health promotion are key elements of our approach.
Prevention and Occupational Safety
Our occupational health and safety measures include, among others:
- the ESG Circle, in which employees from all departments work together with executive management and occupational safety specialists and representatives on topics related to occupational safety, health protection, and environmental protection
- a digital occupational health and safety management concept with an integrated knowledge tool, closely aligned with the requirements of ISO 45001
Corporate Health Management
As part of our corporate health management system, we offer our employees, among other things:
- a cooperation with Sportpark WOFit of TSV Wolfschlugen
- the course “G.U.T. – Healthy and Fit at Work”, a standardized prevention program certified with the SPORT PRO GESUNDHEIT quality seal of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, covering the areas of physical activity, nutrition, and relaxation
- a cooperation with JobRad
The ARNO Code of Conduct supports us in acting appropriately and reasonably in our daily work as well as in strategic considerations and associated legal or ethical decision-making processes.
It is based on corporate principles, visions, UN conventions, applicable laws and relevant standards - principles that we as a company adhere to without exception.
Our requirement is that all business is legal and ethical. Employees are obliged to strictly adhere to the ARNO Code of Conduct and to actively implement the regulations in an exemplary manner.
For more than 20 years we have been supporting the organisation Plan International with a sponsorship.
The children's aid organisation promotes children's rights and equality for girls in more than 75 countries.
