Our values

To survive on the market as a healthy and solid company, sustainability is one of our top priorities. We do not only look at sustainability in an ecological sense, but also in an economic and social sense. That’s why we focus on a long-term and collaborative relationship with our customers right from the start. We earn their trust through the highest level of expertise, a fascination with innovations and state-of-the-art technologies, coupled with reliability and maximum flexibility in the way we work together. Our mission is to benefit our customers.


Long-term thinking also determines the development of our company, which has focused on sustainable growth since its foundation. This has enabled us to place VTU on a secure foundation and to always be a reliable partner and employer for our customers and employees. This stable basis also allows us to maintain and deepen our know-how, to drive innovations forward and to continuously develop ourselves at the cutting edge of high-end technology.


The larger a company is, the greater its social and environmental responsibility. We live up to this responsibility in our internal processes as well as in our planning projects, where our colleagues and partners’ safety, health and satisfaction are given top priority alongside the ecological aspect. In achieving our ambitious resource-saving goals, we are guided by the highest standards, such as those set by Ecovadis and GRI with regard to sustainability reporting.
 

Awards and certifications

At VTU Engineering, topics such as customer focus, sustainability and environmental protection as well as personnel development play a key role. A number of awards and certificates that we have received also speak for this.
