Occupational Health & Safety

HUGO BOSS aims to improve the physical and mental health of its employees. Corporate health management is embedded in the organization at many locations. It comprises a broad range of offerings, including those for physical and mental fitness, nutrition and ergonomics in the workplace.

To support these efforts, company doctors are available in Metzingen (Germany) and many other international locations. Additionally, HUGO BOSS regularly organizes health events at various international locations with talks, workshops and courses on healthy nutrition or exercise, for example.

In addition to these initiatives, HUGO BOSS is committed to promoting the health and well-being of its employees by providing ergonomically optimized workspaces. To this end, we aim to ensure that 100% of all office workstations are ergonomically assessed and continuously improved in line with the latest standards. This target supports our goal of fostering a healthy and productive working environment.

In order to ensure a high level of occupational safety, risk assessments regularly take place with regards to workplaces and new or changed processes. The company’s employees also receive regular training on occupational health and safety.

To ensure operational safety, all fire extinguishers and first aid equipment are inspected on a monthly basis. Our goal is to achieve a 100% on-time inspection rate in accordance with the defined maintenance schedule and to document the proper condition of all safety-relevant equipment. The monthly inspections also ensure that the equipment in all buildings is inspected at least once a year. This ensures that all safety devices are fully functional at all times and comply with legal requirements.

Integration of processes for analyzing work-related injuries and illnesses

Since 2022, the meetings of the Occupational Safety Committee have been held jointly with the divisions for the first time in a workshop format to meet the different requirements of the Corporate, Retail and Logistics target groups. In addition to evaluating changes in the divisions on occupational safety, the focus is on the occupational accidents that have occurred in the individual divisions. This involves analyzing the occupational accidents and working out whether there are any causes of accidents that occur more frequently in the respective areas. If this is the case, measures are derived using various methods (e.g. STOP principle) to eliminate the causes of accidents in the future.
