What guides us
Values and sustainability
Values are only as good as what you make of them. Companies with their own history and their own culture working by the same values is not a given. At BRACE Group, that is exactly what we achieve – in how we treat each other and in how we treat our environment.
Our values
What we hold ourselves to
From day one, our values and the way we act on them were non-negotiable for BRACE Group. They became our guiding principles – developed together and lived every day in each of our companies.
Group and companies
Shared values, each with its own character
Our values form the framework of BRACE Group. Each company fills it with its own history and its own people. The framework is shared, the character stays their own.

Responsibility you can measure
Every space our companies design for a brand uses materials, energy and travel. There is no talking that away, but it can be reduced significantly. Our companies work on this every day, out of conviction and with measurable results.
- 100% green electricity in all companies of the Group, set out in our shared environmental policy
- CO₂ footprint for the entire Group, to an international standard – from our own vehicle fleet to materials and logistics
Certified together
Until now, our companies have been certified individually. Now we are taking this path together, as a Group.
ISO 14001 for BRACE Group
Certification in preparation
Sustainability shows its value where smart concepts conserve resources, reduce environmental impact and extend the life cycle of materials and systems. We keep developing this ambition and are aligning our environmental management as a Group with the internationally recognized ISO 14001 standard.
We are preparing the certification in a multi-site process together with all companies of the Group. In addition, we rely on an EcoVadis assessment to present our sustainability performance transparently and improve it continuously.
Owned from within
Every company in the Group has its own sustainability management with a dedicated contact person. They coordinate the strategy together.
