Caring about our employees & communities around us.

deSter

our people

People play an essential role in our ESG strategy. Without our dedicated employees, we wouldn’t have been able to run our business and grow for the past years. The same counts for working together with our suppliers and customers. We understand that our operations influence the lives of communities around us and want to work together with them to create a positive impact.

Our
workplace

The success of deSter depends in large part on its employees. As a result, we focus our energy on attracting and retaining talented individuals and encourage their growth and development within our company. We work hard to achieve an environment in which individual and team efforts are rewarded and recognized, and employees are inspired to be a part of our organization.

Our
marketplace

We seek to apply and improve standards throughout our supply chain and optimize value, keeping the needs of our customers at the forefront of our decision-making. We organize global operational excellence programs, supplier programs and global employee training, which ensures best-in-class service.

Our
community

Wherever we do business, our priority is to contribute positively to the communities that we serve. We encourage our employees to share their expertise and help people in their communities. Also, throughout our circular economy approach, we actively work to do our bit and transform our portfolio to ensure our packaging is designed to prevent waste in the first place.

This includes reducing unconscious bias and expanding access to flexible working arrangements, talent programs and leadership development opportunities. Our workforce represents 42 nationalities, bringing together a broad range of perspectives, experiences and skills. We believe an inclusive workplace is fundamental to our long-term success, and this commitment is
reflected in both our Code of Conduct and DEI Policy.
