Schmidt Groupe has always been recognised for its people-oriented values and its quest for quality and excellence. The company is committed to continually improving its industrial and economic performance, while addressing social, societal and environmental challenges.
Drawing inspiration from Anne Leitzgen, CEO and granddaughter of the Group’s founder, and her steadfast conviction that companies have a key role to play in shaping a better world for future generations, Schmidt Groupe gave a name to its corporate purpose in 2021: “Inspiring living spaces”. This purpose serves as the guiding light for achieving our ambition of becoming a European economic leader with a recognised reputation for its positive impact on society and the environment.
In 2022, Schmidt Groupe stepped up its impact strategy by signing the UN Global Compact to effectively address and promote the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, launching its process to obtain B Corp certification and thereby become a company that brings a greater impact and contribution to the world, and setting out its commitments for 2025 to benefit its employees, customers, communities and the planet.
