Public affairs
Our political responsibility
As a European family-owned business, it is our responsibility to work with political stakeholder groups and to champion sustainable business practices in Europe: our commitment extends to areas such as energy, the decarbonisation of industry, the bioeconomy, the circular economy, resource conservation and biodiversity.
At WEPA, we have an interest in informing ourselves about politically relevant issues and developments at an early stage and recording their impact on the company.
We firmly believe that politicians and companies have equal responsibility concerning answering the key questions of the future. WEPA considers transparent and open dialogue with political stakeholders to be an important part of our social responsibility.
In our political communication at WEPA we take a stand on issues – not on parties or players. We are open to dialogue with all relevant stakeholders.
Responsibility for well-being and a safe sense of hygiene in society
Our products help to ensure cleanliness and hygiene in everyday life, thereby promoting people’s well-being and health. We are committed to improving the economic, political and social framework conditions so that hygiene is given high priority in our society.
Responsibility for sustainability and progress
We believe in a policy that supports and promotes sustainable production processes in order to ideally strengthen people’s growing environmental awareness.
Responsibility for resource conservation and the circular economy
As experts in the manufacture of hygiene paper from recycled fibres, we support policy initiatives that reduce the impact on land consumption and biodiversity and enable cascading use throughout Europe.
The exchange between politics, the economic sector and society forms the basis for democratic decisions. We are committed to transparency in our political work and expect the same from our business partners in accordance with our Code of Conduct. WEPA respects the responsibilities and duties of political institutions and communicates honestly, transparently and based on facts. In order to effectively represent our interests, we are networked and organised within various associations.
