social sustainability

The central core of social sustainability is development of society. Among other things, this involves combating poverty, meeting basic needs and ensuring equal opportunities, including access to information and resources. In terms of corporate management, social sustainability focuses on the issue of work to secure livelihoods and equality. The objective of social sustainability is defined as the equality of income, compliance with labor rights, health protection and general social standards for all employees.

The pillar of social sustainability represents an elementary phenomenon in the corporate philosophy and management for AGT Coach & Event Logistics for various reasons. We always strive to make adjustments that create socially sustainable working conditions in our everyday office life, show social commitment and are aware of our responsibility in the context of public relations.

At AGT Coach & Event Logistics, social sustainability begins with respect for human rights, which are a fundamental part of our corporate governance. Therefore, in accordance with our company-wide policy on labor and human rights, we are committed to upholding these obligations. AGT Coach & Event Logistics is guided by the fundamental principles of social sustainability with regard to labor and human rights of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the International Labor Organization (ILO). In the event of a violation of the given guidelines on labor and human rights, affected persons will in future be able to communicate a complaint via the whistle-blower procedure. Together with the association “Whistleblower-Netzwerk e.V.”, a team of employees of AGT Coach & Event Logistics was sensitized to the topic of whistle-blowing management as a procedure for socially sustainable dealings with employees through comprehensive training. Starting with the hiring process, labor and human rights are to be preserved and respected at AGT Coach & Event Logistics.
