Brand values
Efficiency
We work with lean structures and processes and
strive for the highest possible material, labour
and energy efficiency. This ensures not only the
efficiency of our actions, but also conserves limited
natural resources.
We are committed to fulfilling our economical,
ecological and social responsibilities. We ensure all
our processes are environmentally compatible and
encourage the use of renewable forms of energy
because it is our aim to protect the climate and to
preserve the natural basis of life. We participate in
the scientific, artistic and cultural life of our society.
We are technological trailblazers and a pacesetter
in our sector. We continue to develop exceptional
products and solutions, which go on to become
milestones of heating technology. As in the past,
we will continue to exert a decisive influence over
technological progress in the future.
We offer top quality and strive for perfection in all
areas of our business. Our actions are guided by
the motto: "Nothing is so good that it cannot be
improved". Our products are easy to use, built to
last and futureproof.

Strategic sustainability
project
For Viessmann, taking responsibility means a commitment to acting sustainably.
This means bringing ecology, economy and social responsibility into balance, whilst ensuring that current needs are met without compromising the quality of life of future generations.
Sustainability projectWith our strategic sustainability project, launched in 2005, we demonstrate at our own site in Allendorf that the political targets set for 2050 by the German Federal Government with regard to energy and climate can already be achieved today with commercially available technology. The result – a 50 percent reduction of primary energy consumption compared to 2008, an increase in the proportion of renewables to 60 percent, and an 80 percent reduction in CO2 emissions, relative to levels in 1990.
By utilising renewables and increasing our efficiency with energy, materials and operations, we not only improve our competitiveness, but also secure the future of our production site.

At the Info Centre, Viessmann trains employees
and trade partners from all around the world.
Personal partnerships are as important to Viessmann as the products themselves. The values and commitments we share with our trade partners provide the cornerstone of our successful working relationship in which reliability and fair treatment play a strong part.
The structural change in the heating market has raised the demand for further training considerably.
The Viessmann Academy responds actively to this growing demand. It offers design engineers, architects, property developers, flue gas inspectors, technical training centres and Viessmann‘s own employees a comprehensive training programme. In total, 92,000 specialists attend further training events at the Viessmann Academy every year.
Employees and responsibilities
20/21
Treating each other with respect
for mutual success
The Viessmann brand represents quality, competence and innovation. Behind the brand are people whose dedication ensures that we live up to our reputation every single day.
For every employee "reliability" means to adhere to promises without compromise and to promote and support strong partnerships. This requires them to act objectively and appropriately at all times.
Our aim is our mutual success. The path that leads us there is paved with honesty and respect for each other. This may also mean arguing one‘s point, but not arguing with one another.
Responsibility by and for the individual is encouraged and required. Making decisions rather than putting them off, is part and parcel of that philosophy. Everyone accepts responsibility for their actions and takes into account the likely consequences.

Our clear and factual presentational style runs through all of our communications. This applies to our brochures, website and presentations at trade fairs. In all areas of activity, we value clear design, ease of comprehension and use of transparent information.
For the last 15 years, sport sponsorship has played a central part in our marketing communications. This has enabled us to raise brand awareness significantly, whilst lending the brand a positive image.This also benefits our trade partners.
Art and culture
The "Zero" artists Mack, Piene, Uecker, Geiger
and Stankowski designed the "Edition Eurola".
For Viessmann, heat and creativity are closely related. This correlation inspires engineers to create leading heating equipment. When painters, sculptors and conceptual artists interpret this correlation, technology is turned into art.
26/27
Works of art by eleven internationally acclaimed
artists are shown in the "Art and Heating" exhibition.
The "Art and Heating" and „Edition Eurola“ exhibitions on display in Allendorf are complemented by autonomous works of art that are presented inside and outside the company‘s premises.
Alongside this commitment to art, a long established aspect of the company culture involves supporting cultural events.
