Responsibility
Shared values shape our actions today and in the future.
What unites us: We need to take responsibility and act together.
We want to shape, drive and create - to take responsibility and let our actions speak for themselves. We do this in all directions and never lose sight of one thing: people.
What we do
We take economic, ecological and social responsibility very seriously and want to achieve even more together. And how do we do that? Fairly, transparently, openly, in partnership and with respect in dealing with natural resources. You can read, hear and see here how we implement our plans, who is involved and what we have already achieved.

Others fly into space - we start on earth
Climate change is here and as an online retailer, we see it as our responsibility to speak out. For more than 30 years, we have been acting transparently and committed to climate protection with effective reduction measures. And in doing so, we are pursuing a goal: as an OTTO retailer, we will become climate neutral by 2030.

Sustainability is multifaceted
In addition to climate and nature protection, we take responsibility for all the people we work with and who trust us. We do this with our economic and social actions. One example of this is our working conditions. Here, too, and especially here, the focus is on people. Whether in Europe, (South) America or Asia. Working conditions vary from country to country, and as part of the Otto Group, we are committed to ensuring that production is consistent and socially acceptable worldwide, and that working conditions are humane.
