One Vision
The Dürr Group’s mission statement
As part of the One Vision project, the Dürr Group developed a new mission statement in 2022. With a strong involvement of employees, forward-looking statements on the company’s purpose, vision, mission, and values were developed.
The corporate mission statement provides employees with guidance for their behavior and helps them to make decisions. It contributes to motivating and inspiring employees. The mission statement also makes it clear to customers, investors, other stakeholders, and interested members of the public what the company’s goals are and how it intends to exercise its social responsibility.

We are driven by finding the best solutions for our customers’ challenges. We think one step ahead, drive innovations and trends, and keep challenging ourselves. We thus continue to learn — as a company and as individuals.
We show COURAGE
We apply entrepreneurial thinking, make our own decisions, and learn from errors. We head into the future with courage and always find a solution.
We embody TRUST
We firmly believe that everyone in our company does their best. This is why we trust each other and approach each other openly. Our partners and customers can rely on us because we keep our promises.
We COOPERATE as a team
We support each other across departmental boundaries to achieve the best possible solutions. We offer constructive feedback, are able to give and receive criticism, and show others our appreciation. We closely cooperate with our customers and partners, both on a global and local level, and we combine skills and integrate different perspectives.
We demonstrate RESPECT
We appreciate the diversity of the people in our company and that of our customers and partners. Therefore, we treat each other with respect and always seek out what we have in common rather than what separates us.
We assume RESPONSIBILITY
We are aware of the responsibility we have as a company toward society and the environment. We therefore use resources carefully, we develop sustainable solutions, and we promote education, culture, and social cohesion for a better future.
Values and competencies
In addition to the corporate mission statement, a competency model was also developed within the Dürr Group. The two are closely interlinked: The six values in the corporate mission statement describe how the employees of the Dürr Group would like to work together. The competencies enable the employees to actually bring the values to life. Metaphorically speaking, the competencies are the hand and the values are the heart.
The competency model
The competency model consists of four fields, each with two competencies. The competency “Leadership” applies exclusively to managers. All others apply to all employees throughout the Dürr Group.
Filling One Vision with life
The mission statement and the competency model are part of various processes and activities within the Group. For example, new employees are familiarized with One Vision at introductory events. Teams are called upon to regularly review how they live the values in their day-to-day work and where improvement measures make sense. The competencies are integrated into management training courses and talent programs for personnel development, among other things.
