Corporate Values & Vision
Welcome to the family!
Who has never heard of Tchibo? Our long tradition as a Hamburg-based trading company has made us what we are today. We are a family business and at the same time one of the most successful multichannel retailers in Germany. With the courage to reinvent ourselves again and again, we have already moved on a lot, but we still have more to do. Here you can find out about the strong corporate values that guide us.
The pillars of our actions
We know who we are
A lot has happened since Max Herz and Carl Tchilling-Hiryan revolutionised the German coffee market with their simple but ingenious business idea in 1949. Today, our passion is no longer just for coffee, but a wide variety of services and weekly changing non-food products. But some things will never change: we love coffee! And we love to inspire our customers again and again.
In line with our corporate principles, we focus on quality as well as responsibility for our employees, our society and the environment. At Tchibo, honesty, fairness and transparency are just as important as open communication and sincere cooperation. Our corporate values are our constant. They are our compass - and make our Tchibo family so special.
Our vision for the future
Together, we set out on our journey
Even though our company was founded more than half a century ago: At Tchibo, we have never lost our pioneering spirit. Flexibility and ingenuity are two of our great strengths. That's why we don't see the environmental influences, changing buying habits and novel demands of our customers as challenges, rather as opportunities to continue growing as a company. The hands-on mentality, which is typically Hanseatic, provides us with the ideal foundation for our future success.
Corporate Responsibility
What we stand for: Never 100% perfect, but boldly moving forward.
To become a completely sustainable business is an ambitious goal, but we accept the challenge! In line with our corporate values, we want to be part of a movement that is tackling the problems of our time. And not just with empty words: sustainability has been an integral part of Tchibo's business strategy since 2006. We are actively committed to manufacturing our products fairly - with respect for our environment and for the people we work with. This is one of the reasons why we are already the third largest buyer of organic cotton in the world.

Diversity
Together we stay different
The people behind our products are as diverse as our products are. Together, our open corporate culture ensures a working environment in which this diversity is lived every day. It is important to us that everyone at Tchibo feels they belong and receives the same level of appreciation - regardless of ethnic origin, gender, disability, religion, world view, age or sexual identity. We look forward to welcoming you as part of our Tchibo family!
