Employees

Empowering people, upholding integrity, and building a responsible workplace

Our employees are the foundation of our success, and we are committed to providing a workplace where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered. Our strategy focuses on protecting human rights, ensuring equal opportunities, safeguarding health and safety, and supporting wellbeing and professional growth through career development and work–life balance.

To maintain integrity across our operations, we enforce a mandatory Employee Code of Conduct (please refer to the Sustainability Governance page) and transparent Whistleblowing System. Together, they promote accountability, prevent misconduct, and strengthen a culture of trust.

GCP is also a signatory of the German Diversity Charter, reinforcing our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities in the workplace.

We promote an inclusive workplace built on respect and fairness. We do not tolerate discrimination, and all concerns are promptly and thoroughly addressed. Our Diversity Policy (please refer to the Sustainability Governance page) supports talent development and inclusion through onboarding training, a Diversity Committee, and dedicated intranet resources.

GCP is committed to maintaining a safe, healthy, and supportive work environment for all employees. We ensure this through:

• Regulatory compliance: We adhere to all national and EU health and safety standards.
• Trained personnel: We empower managers and certified first aiders to implement and monitor safety measures effectively.
• Employee wellbeing: We promote health and balance through flexible work options, regular health checks, gym access, and mental health support.
• Inclusive approach: We provide targeted support for employees with disabilities and those in higher-risk roles.
• Occupational Health and Safety Policy (please refer to the Sustainability Governance page): Defining clear responsibilities, mandating regular risk assessments, and ensuring continuous compliance to prevent workplace accidents.

GCP invests in continuous learning to support professional growth and career development. Our employees benefit from a variety of tailored learning opportunities, including in-person sessions, webinars, our e-learning platform, as well as leadership training and mentoring programs.

Through the Activate the Base program, we empower employees to propose and implement their own ideas for operational and sustainability improvements, guided by external coaching to drive innovation across the company.
