q.beyond takes pioneering approach to sustainability - Seite 2

q.beyond’s digital service portfolio also helps SMEs to boost the sustainability of their business operations. It extends the lifecycle of machines, enhances building energy efficiency and facilitates resource-efficient work from home. Cybersecurity concepts also strengthen companies’ business resilience, while software-as-a-service solutions optimise the use of goods in retail and reduce waste. “Decarbonising business and society is a process that harbours great opportunities for q.beyond”, stresses Jürgen Hermann and adds: “Sustainability is increasingly turning into a growth driver for us.”

Equal pay for equal work

In view of this, the economic, ecological and social aspects of sustainability are also key components of the “beyond 2022” growth strategy unveiled at the beginning of April. q.beyond has from the outset taken an all-round approach to sustainability and is carefully examining potential improvements. In spring 2022, the salaries of the company’s total of around 1,100 employees were reviewed to identify any pay differentials between women and men for comparable activities. q.beyond will largely close those gaps identified in individual cases in autumn 2022. In a second step, it will then compensate any potential differentials still in place. Regular investigations should ensure that no further gender pay gaps arise in future. “q.beyond staff receive equal pay for equal work”, declares CEO Jürgen Hermann.
