Why SGL?

We are convinced that our great cultural diversity strengthens us. That's why we are proud to have colleagues from 66 different nations in our teams, whose intercultural cooperation makes great things happen.

Equal opportunities for men and women is a reality for us, not an empty promise. That is why we apply the principle of equal pay for equal work.

With our goal of increasing the proportion of women in senior management at SGL to 20% by 2025, we are also working even harder to promote mixed management teams as a key success factor.

With our Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy, we create a common understanding of responsible and respectful cooperation for our employees with different cultural backgrounds. We remind them of this through regular training and ensure that discrimination and harassment have no place.

We want to offer our employees flexibility. And at the same time create reliability for our business. Where the job allows, they can organize their working day flexibly, on their own responsibility and in a way that makes sense for them.

Depending on the job, we offer options for mobile working. The extent to which this is possible is determined in consultation with the manager.

The safety of our employees is close to our hearts! One of our goals is to further reduce the frequency of occupational accidents - which is why it has been relevant for the management bonus since last year. 

In terms of prevention, we offer measures at our sites such as preventive medical checkups, corona and flu vaccinations, and health courses.

SGL employees benefit from a fair remuneration system based on collective bargaining agreements or tariffs. In the non-tariff area, we offer standard market salary bands and an additional bonus.

Social and fringe benefits are part of an attractive compensation package. The details vary depending on the country. In Germany, for example, our employees benefit from additional benefits such as a pension plan and accident insurance, which also provides round-the-clock private coverage.

Together with our customers and partners, we work on future-oriented solutions. Our materials and products made of specialty graphite, carbon fibers and composites are in demand in industries that are driving change: e.g. automotive or solar and wind energy. For you, this means exciting tasks and a reliable perspective with a secure employer.

We attach great importance to the strengths-oriented deployment of our employees. This is based on internal transfer and promotion opportunities, development-oriented project assignments and special tasks, as well as programs to promote talent and make high-potential employees visible. And, of course, there are also traditional training opportunities.

Diversity and intercultural openness characterize our collaboration. Modern virtual and hybrid forms of communication are indispensable for this. But project-related stays at our SGL sites worldwide are also conceivable in the context of global topics and tasks - which offers additional networking opportunities.
