The Competence Center Growth and Sales Strategies at Neu-Ulm University has been awarding employers in terms of attractiveness, awareness, likeability and willingness to apply for several years. In addition, the Employer Brand Manager Award is presented on an annually changing focus topic. The main theme of this year’s jury award was Purpose – the meaning and purpose of work. Under the patronage of District Administrator Thorsten Freudenberger, the award in the Ecology category was presented to pervormance international from Ulm.

Doing good and being successful at the same time – employees today are looking for meaning and purpose in their work more than ever before. They want to respect the company and recognize the value it creates for the environment and society. This has been proven to increase work motivation. “Even in the crisis, employer branding remains an important task. The ‘war for talent’ doesn’t just stop” says Professor Alexander Kracklauer, Head of the Competence Center Growth and Sales Strategies at Neu-Ulm University.

Awareness is not everything. Especially young and innovative companies set new priorities and standards in their daily business. This is what pervormance international, the world’s first climate-neutral textile company, stands for. In production, not only are old fibers reused through upcycling, raw materials and finished goods are transported in a climate-friendly way only by truck instead of by plane, and short distances save CO2. At the headquarters in Ulm, 100% natural electricity is used and in addition, cooling textiles of the E.Cooline brand are an alternative to environmentally harmful air conditioning systems. Instead of using environmentally harmful refrigerants, the textiles work only with water and, according to climate partner, save up to 97% CO2 compared to conventional technical solutions. In addition, the products work not only indoors, but also outdoors. A factor that is becoming increasingly important as temperatures rise due to climate change.

 

UN WOMAN PRAISES ULM ENTREPRENEURS

UN WOMAN PRAISES ULM ENTREPRENEURS

pervormance international is the only German company represented in the UN Women book on gender equality published by the United Nations.

The comprehensive United Nations book, which is available in digital form, presents innovative and successful women entrepreneurs who implement the Women`s Empowerment Principles (WEP) in small and medium-sized enterprises. “Here we are presented with pervormance international as a model company and the only company from Germany,” says Managing Director Gabriele Renner proudly.

The United Nations book presents concepts and companies from UN Women’s cooperation within the “WE EMPOWER-G7 Program”. It highlights how G7 governments and companies, as well as the EU, are working together to promote gender equality in the workplace, marketplace and community.

“There are many companies that are committed to women in the workplace at UN Women, but few that are also led by women. That’s why we chose pervormance international,” said UN Women’s Sarah Merusi, praising Ulm-based managing directors Gabriele Renner and Sabine Stein and their company, pervormance international.
The Ulm-based company thus represents Germany and was given preference over stock corporations that are also active in UN Women, such as Daimler or BASF, adidas, Allianz or Hugo Boss, which, however, have no women at the top of their companies.  “The reports in UN Woman are an outstanding award for our year-long commitment to women in leadership positions and equality in the workplace,” says Sabine Stein, pleased with the positive response.
