Measures on the subject of economy

Economic sustainability involves making a sustained contribution to the good of society. All stakeholders should profit from HHLA’s activities. A sound financial basis is the fundamental requirement for the group’s viability in future.

/ Exemplary projects

Added value for prosperity

Between 2006 and 2009 HHLA’s accumulated added value totalled nearly 2.1 billion euros. The Group thus made a substantial contribution to the prosperity of society.

 

New life within old walls

Hamburg’s Speicherstadt (Warehouse City) was built by HHLA and has been managed by HHLA for over 125 years. It is regarded as a perfect example of sensitive and commercially successful further development of an entire quarter.

 

Certificated quality

To render the performance of HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder transparent for customers, it has been recertified by Germanischer Lloyd under the Container Terminal Quality Indicator (CTQI).

 

Transparent added value performance

The Investor Relations department makes HHLA’s development of added value continuously transparent. HHLA received an award for the best investor relations in Germany in a 2009 readership survey.

 

Compliance

HHLA regards observation of all legal regulations and guidelines as a vital part of its corporate governance and has initiated a compliance programme for this. 

 

Risk management

Possible risks for the future development of our company are continually recorded, evaluated, controlled and steered by our risk management system.

Sustainable cooperation with suppliers

With an annual purchasing volume running into a three-digit million euro sum, cooperation with suppliers is seen as a top priority. Maintenance of social standards, environment legislation and all the relevant laws and regulations is regulated by our purchasing conditions and agreements. A survey of suppliers on sustainability-relevant topics also reinforces awareness among our suppliers of sustainable company management.
