Our values
We think and act in terms of long-term impacts and benefits
As a family-owned company, we firmly believe in the importance of trust, reliability and quality. We are proud to have longstanding customers who have depended on us and placed their trust in us over the years. Rather than focusing on short-term gains, we keep our sights on the long-term perspective. As a family business, we believe it is important not just to plan and act for the present, but also for the future. We are committed to sustainable business development and close cooperation with our customers so that we can be successful together in the long-term.
Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct that applies to all companies in the Mercanta Group is intended to provide our employees with guidance on how to conduct themselves in their daily work. The company’s success is not only dependent on good products and their delivery in flawless condition, but also on the way we understand our business. As an owner-managed family business, Mercanta is a long-standing, long-term and reliable partner to customers, suppliers and service providers. We aim to ensure that our actions are transparent and comprehensible for everyone involved. The values we embrace include mutual respect, recognition and appreciation in our daily interactions with one another, because they build trust, credibility, reliability and reputation. Compliance with our Code of Conduct is therefore an important cornerstone of our business success. In other words: the way Mercanta achieves success is just as important to us as the success itself.
