Mission Statement
Nine core values guide our approach to projects and client relationships:
01 Added Value
We create measurable value. Clients rely on our results. Colleagues benefit from safe workplaces and room for innovation.
02 Honest Success
We act with integrity and commit to our clients’ success. Our compliance certificate documents this promise.
03 Dare to Try
We get things done, and we want to make a difference. We promote a hands-on mentality in which our experts are seen as entrepreneurs. We encourage them to take responsibility early on, make decisions, and implement their own ideas.
04 We Take the Lead
We lead markets through expertise and responsibility. We accelerate innovation and foster new ideas. By taking responsibility for projects, we help our clients succeed. Our experts are trained to lead, encourage, and inspire.
05 Together, We’re Independent
We work without banks, hedge funds, or external owners. We are free to make our own decisions. This independence enables objective and neutral advice.
06 High-Performing Spirit
Our clients and contractors love what we do. Our employees dream, work, and celebrate together.
07 Hyperlocal
Our teams work on-site worldwide. They understand local markets, languages, and culture. Because good ideas have no postal code.
08 Climate for Future
As a Beneficial Company, we develop innovative, meaningful ideas and integrate them into diverse ecosystems. We develop sustainable projects with measurable environmental and economic impact. Together with our clients, we shape a future worth living.
The Drees & Sommer corporate philosophy consists of eight statements that express how we think, how we work together, and what sets us apart. The first statement (VALUE GUARANTEED) shows what we achieve. The following five statements explain how we do this:
- By acting ethically (SUCCESS WITH INTEGRITY).
- By giving our employees adequate scope (GOOD IDEAS – NO LIMITS).
- By assuming a leadership role in the marketplace (LEADING THE WAY).
- By retaining our partnership-based company structure (INDEPENDENT TOGETHER).
- By taking pride in success with our clients (PASSION FOR PERFORMANCE).
We also say where we provide our services (GLOBALLY LOCAL) and look to the future (INNOVATION FOR THE FUTURE).
BLUE IS BOUNDLESS – our 9th Statement – is also our Diversity Statement. Diversity inspires and enriches our work.
Each statement has two dimensions. What it means for our clients and what it means for our employees.
DIVERSITY AT DREES & SOMMER
