A company is only as good as its people. Ours are among the best

Our employees very much drive the development of our Company, with leadership skills and team spirit, with dedication and passion. They feel that they are closely associated with the Company’s goals. More than 21,000 employees throughout the world meet consumers’ wishes for their skin and beauty products.

We expect a lot from our employees – and in return invest in their individual training and continuing development. This makes us one of the most attractive employers for individuals who are focused on success.

It is a long time since Dr. Oscar Troplowitz – the successor to the Company’s founder, Paul C. Beiersdorf – acknowledged how attractive a company is to qualified employees if it acts responsibly. In 1912, he became the first businessman in Hamburg to introduce the 48-hour week, paid vacation and breastfeeding rooms, the predecessors to the Company kindergarten we have today.

Since then, we have continued this tradition of Corporate Responsibility – at a high level worldwide.
