Social responsibility measures
The Port of Hamburg acquired a fine reputation because motivated staff have mastered the technology and the processes. HHLA had already contributed to that by founding a Quay Trade School in 1927 and has been continually committed to excellence in vocational and further training. Moreover, the Group also sets standards for optimal, safe working conditions and progressive tariff agreements.
The company’s involvement also covers imparting knowledge of ports logistics, among other subjects. HHLA therefore supports and initiates a number of projects, ranging from coach tours to the Speicherstadt Museum.
/ Exemplary projects
Health, safety and responsibility
Work continues throughout the year at HHLA’s terminals, 24/7 in shift operation, whatever the weather outdoors. That entails special challenges for health and safety at the workplace.
How does port logistics function?
HHLA supports museums and projects that convey knowledge of port logistics. The Port Museum contains a HHLA section, for instance, while the Speicherstadt museum is accommodated rent-free.
New start for disadvantaged
With its NEUSTART initiative, the Hamburg Vocational Training Centre (HAZ) gives socially disadvantaged young people opportunities for training and a regular working life. HHLA has supported HAZ since 1978.
Coach tour to the giant port sites
To facilitate access to HHLA terminals for interested members of the public, in close cooperation with HHLA the coach operator Jasper offers various tours of the port. Around 50,000 visitors a year take up this unique opportunity to see operations at close quarters.
“Aqua Agents” explore the port
Port days for primary school children convey knowledge of the port and trade. The “Aqua Agents” educational project is run by the Michael Otto Foundation for Environmental Protection.
In-service Training programme
Short-time working was practiced at HHLA from July 2009 to October 2010. A comprehensive in-service programme used this period to offer employees long-term opportunities for development extending beyond the crisis.
