To uphold strong values and embody them

Kindness, agility, responsibility, cooperation and trust are core values of our corporate culture, enabling us to place enjoyment and performance at the heart of our daily work.

And in a rapidly changing world, these values provide a solid and stable foundation on which to build.
Kindness is the ability to show genuine care and respect for others, even when we differ.

Agility is the ability to foster boldness, creativity and innovation in oneself and one’s team, and to instil a culture of change that supports the company’s long-term success and the development of everyone.

Responsibility is the ability to take ownership of decisions. It means feeling accountable and committing fully.

Cooperation is the ability to prioritise the collective interest and to promote cross-functional collaboration.

Trust is the ability to foster open and transparent relationships with colleagues and to be able to rely on one another.
Responsibility is the ability to make decisions and stand by them. It means taking ownership and committing fully.

Cooperation is the ability to prioritise the common good and foster cross-functional collaboration.
Pleasure at the heart

The joy lies in creating the right conditions so that everyone can find purpose and contribute to a harmonious working environment and to our collective success.

Thinking and acting as a team

Teamwork is what drives us: we learn from one another, inspire one another and work together to move the business forward.

Collective intelligence was already embedded in our practices long before the concept appeared in a management book: “Here, it is not one man who thinks, but all of us,” Karl Leitzgen used to say.

At Schmidt Groupe, you will discover communities such as Les Audacieuses and Les Éclaireurs, which bring the company to life and foster a culture of sharing, mutual support and creativity.

Because the best ideas arise from the exchange of perspectives and expertise, we create the conditions for sharing, cooperation and the development of initiatives.

And each individual, through their profession and their passion, contributes to making the company what it is today.

Working in inspiring spaces

Here, our workspaces contribute to your performance and promote your well-being.

From La Ruche, our new eco-designed building in Sélestat, to La Ferme de Lièpvre with its views of the Vosges, right through to our factories where we are constantly investing in the best equipment, we create places where it’s a pleasure to work.

From Work Cafés designed to encourage interaction, to indoor and outdoor sports facilities and friendly staff canteens, our spaces foster cooperation, creativity, quality of life and positive working conditions on a daily basis.

Working in a safe environment

Health and safety at work is a priority at Schmidt Groupe.

Thanks to our collective commitment, our results are constantly improving, with record numbers of accident-free days across all our sites.

This performance is based on concrete actions: the roll-out of safety dojos at all our production sites, mandatory “Safety Culture” e-learning training for all employees, and ISO 45001 certification, which guarantees our standards of excellence in safety.

We pay particular attention to workplace ergonomics: a new workplace mapping exercise is underway to adapt each workstation to the specific needs of every individual. Muscle warm-ups at the start of the shift, indoor and outdoor multi-sports facilities, health promotion initiatives (Pink October, Blue March, blood donation, raising awareness of endometriosis, etc.): at Schmidt Groupe, looking after you is part of our daily commitment.

Thriving in an inclusive environment

Diversity and inclusion are a source of innovation and collective performance

Our ambition: to build an even stronger, fairer and more people-centred company.

With a gender equality index of 94/100, initiatives to increase the number of women in our industrial roles and promote intergenerational collaboration, and a disability policy developed in partnership with AGEFIPH, we are building an environment in which everyone can be their true selves.

Our social policy, developed in collaboration with the social partners, guarantees fairness for everyone.

Promoting diversity and inclusion

Learning and Development

Training the younger generations is not just an option at Schmidt Groupe; it is part of our culture. A culture of learning and progress.

A variety of formats nurture curiosity and skills development throughout your journey with us: in-house collaborative workshops, inspiring talks and e-learning modules.

Schmidt Groupe Campus, dedicated to supporting our work-study students and interns, fully embodies our commitment to nurturing the talent of tomorrow.
