Culture and insights

Working together for more WOW – joining forces to make a real difference.

Our culture of WOW

Purpose

There are the big WOWs that turn the whole world upside down. And then, of course, there are the small WOWs that remind us of the magic that is all around us every day. Big or small, every WOW is both extraordinary and unique. Just as unique as our purpose, which shows us "Kärchers" the deeper meaning of what we do, again and again. Because, after all, we have a lot to do together to make the world a little cleaner. What exactly is driving our "Kärcher purpose"?

Diversity and inclusion

A WOW does not differentiate between origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental abilities, religion, world view, or tradition. Here, everyone is invited to put their heads together, to inspire each other and to join forces to create greater things.

We have even put this in writing: in signing the "Diversity Charter", we have committed ourselves to welcoming every single WOW.

Sustainability

We want the world of tomorrow to have even more reasons to say "WOW". That is why we promise all our employees, applicants and customers that we take responsibility for people, the environment and society in everything we do.

At Kärcher we give people the freedom simply to do, be creative, go faster... The freedom to stumble sometimes, but then to get up and courageously try something new again. What are others saying about the "Way of WOW" on kununu and glassdoor? Have a look here:
