• RESPONSIBILITY

    We attach great importance to corporate responsibility. For us as macondo publishing GmbH, it is a question of our civic self-image and our journalistic credibility that we also consider the interests of people and nature in addition to economic thinking. As a result, we were the first German publishing house to get involved in the UN initiative Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). All of macondo’s employees work under a contract, based on a strict editorial code that guarantees quality, seriousness and a sense of responsibility.

Corporate environmental protection

Environmental protection is one of the main areas in which we as a media company have a negative impact on our environment. Therefore, macondo publishing GmbH has taken a number of measures to reduce the “ecological footprint”. Our efforts focus on three core indicators that we have identified as material in the environmental area: Our electricity consumption, our paper consumption and the environmental compatibility of our printing processes. Our information currently relates exclusively to our company and the printers involved. A challenge for the future will be to integrate our supply chains more comprehensively.

Progress reports

Companies that join the Global Compact undertake to report annually on their progress in implementing the ten Global Compact principles and, where applicable, in supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This Communication on Progress (CoP) is not aimed at the Global Compact, but at the company’s so-called stakeholders, such as investors, business partners, customers and suppliers, critical civil society organizations and government agencies.
