our actions in 2024

Driving for excellence program

In 2024, we started the 5^th edition of our Driving for Excellence program with 21 international participants. It is a group-wide management training and covers topics like business management, self-organization, leading others and leading oneself. It consists of different modules, typically lasts for 10 months per edition and includes individual coaching. Network meetings with former participants ensure constant sharing of experiences, strengthening and growing management skills to meet the needs of our customers in the best possible way.

Local leadership training

We launched additional local leadership training programs in 2024 at several sites for executive managers at all levels. Each program is tailored to local requirements and cultural contexts, focusing on the continued development of leadership skills.

Printing training edition

In 2024, we also developed our printing training edition to complement the annual internal business and papermaking training. This program provides all delfort employees with professional insights into the production and printing of our specialty papers, equipping them with deep industry expertise.
