Hi there,

CWS was already a professional in the sphere of hygiene before corona – and yet the pandemic has changed everything for us too. We have adapted our range of products and services, reorganised the way we work together and attuned to the new situation. Many of our administrative colleagues still work mainly from home, common rooms may only be used subject to strict hygiene rules. Against this background we have decided to go digital with our employee magazine "One". This means that employees can now access the magazine wherever they are, and customers will get a deeper insight into the day-to-day work of their system provider.
CWS is now strengthening another aspect of its corporate responsibility: Diversity. In this issue, CEO Jürgen Höfling explains in an interview why diversity and cooperation pay off twice over. In the "hidden champions" section you read how the CWS family has grown further together and drawn positive effects from the crisis. In an interview in "in a word", Steffen Langner, Head of Continuous Improvement and Head of the Corona Taskforce at CWS, reports on the role close Group-wide cooperation played in this context and what it is like to manoeuvre an internationally active company through a pandemic. In the “showroom” section you can read more about the latest hygiene package from CWS, namely the CWS SmartWash Plus. This package combines the renowned CWS SmartWash mixer tap with a digital mirror that, by means of an animation, prompts washroom users to wash their hands. Under "on site" you can find out which other projects the CWS Group has launched or developed so far in 2020.
All news managers wish you lots of enjoyable reading with this new issue of One!
