Fostering a Fair and Responsible Culture

For value-based collaboration

Around 13,800 people work for HUGO BOSS worldwide (as of 2020) – the Company has a responsibility to each and every one of them. That’s why the Group promotes a fair, open corporate culture where motivation is part of everyday work. To achieve this, we strive to recruit the best employees, inspire and support them, empower them for the transformation, and build a trusting, creative relationship with them. All of these elements are essential for HUGO BOSS and its employees to develop innovative ideas that generate value for all stakeholders.

First and foremost, of course, this involves ensuring that employees develop awareness for sustainability. But it also involves much more: lifelong learning, meaningful actions, and a working relationship characterized by mutual trust.

HUGO BOSS thus contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 8 (decent work and economic growth).
