The people at Festo have been shaping technological progress for over 100 years. We not only want to be an attractive employer for our employees, but also a reliable partner for their professional and personal development. That is why we have created an environment in which diversity is practiced and joint action is promoted. Eva Maria Nagel, Head of HR Operations and Systems at Festo Festo as an employer Our aim is to attract new talent and offer existing employees an attractive working environment. Our corporate culture at Festo is central to this goal: it lays the foundation for respectful cooperation, lifelong learning, and growth for all within the company. We are continuously developing this culture using specific measures and programs. Mobile working, a modern digital infrastructure, and innovative collaborative space concepts give our employees the opportunity to organize their work individually and independently. We take into account the needs in different phases of life and offer flexible working hours such as part-time work, parental leave or carer’s leave, which in some countries goes beyond legal requirements. This is how we support the work/life balance and promote a future-oriented and modern way of working. Remuneration and benefits In addition to fair overall remuneration, Festo offers attractive benefits to all employees in Germany, whether they are in full-time or part-time employment. The offer ranges from the company pension scheme, company health promotion and various training courses to after-work activities for everyone. The benefits are an expression of our appreciation and are a key part of our corporate culture. We have grouped them in the Festo Benefits Framework under the motto “Be.Well Do.Well.” This framework is intended to provide greater transparency and further boost our attractiveness as an employer. You can find an overview of our offer on page 33 in the Sustainability Report 2024. Corporate Citizenship Taking responsibility for each other, for the environment, for future generations is how community has been interpreted at Festo for many years. The Corporate Citizenship Program demonstrates our commitment worldwide. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Festo in 2025, we supported 100 global organizations with donations for projects in the areas of education, environmental and climate protection, and support in difficult life situations. We also give all employees worldwide the opportunity to get involved in social or environmental projects. Festo therefore gives employees time off during working hours and promotes personal responsibility, personal commit- ment and team building. In 2025, several thousand employees worldwide were involved in projects relating to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, for example, in waste collection campaigns, distributing food, or giving lessons in technology to young people.
