Management principles


The aim of every company is to be successful. We apply this aim to all contexts in the broadest sense, without drawing a line between economic success and social or environmental responsibility. This is clearly expressed in the bauMax mission statement: People and their individual needs are at the centre of all our actions and activities.

Our mission statement and guiding principles help us work towards this goal and are intended to support us, including in challenging situations. They are intended to ensure that we remain true to ourselves, so that every one of us can look at himself in the mirror every day with a clear conscience.

Our aim at bauMax is to develop and live according to shared values.
Our guiding principles are based on ideas and suggestions contributed by our employees and management staff in all the bauMax countries and company divisions during our many working group meetings.

They provide a solid basis for attitudes, behaviours and mutual expectations and thus guarantee a high level of cooperation in terms of shared responsibility.

Based on our guiding principles, we provide the best possible induction for our new employees, conduct regular employee appraisal interviews, promote and support professional and personal development, while providing opportunities for promotion.
