Ensure safety, fairness and development 

We are committed to safe and fair working conditions in our operations and across our value chain. Through development opportunities, learning initiatives, and responsible business practices, we support the well-being, growth, and long-term success of employees, advisors, and partners. 

Protecting the people who keep Vorwerk moving

Behind every Thermomix® and every Kobold are people who work with precision, experience and care. At Vorwerk Elektrowerke GmbH & Co. KG, the production and engineering heart of the Vorwerk Group, occupational safety is not only documented but actively lived.

Regular team meetings encourage open dialogue between employees and managers and create space to address both operational topics and what motivates people in their daily work. Workstation rotation helps prevent uneven physical strain, while clearly defined lifting limits protect employees’ health. Annual safety briefings, structured emergency and fire protection procedures, and access to psychological first aid further reinforce this commitment. For Vorwerk, safety means more than preventing accidents: it means creating a working environment where people feel supported, stay healthy and can perform at their best over the long term. 

Empower and celebrate sustainability contributions

We share sustainability knowledge and encourage active engagement across the Vorwerk Community through training sessions, workshops, and internal events. By empowering employees, advisors, and ambassadors to contribute ideas and actions, we help translate ambitions into concrete initiatives.

Sustainability, shared across the company

Building a shared understanding of sustainability starts with making knowledge accessible across the organization. Our intranet serves as a central hub where employees can stay informed about sustainability initiatives, access key resources and understand how their work contributes to our broader ambitions.

Regular articles and updates highlight projects, milestones and cross-functional initiatives, from awareness campaigns to collaborative workshops, and offer practical insights into how our sustainability strategy is brought to life. They also help recognize the commitment and ideas of colleagues across the company and show how individual contributions support meaningful progress. Virtual dialogue sessions create additional opportunities for employees to ask questions, exchange perspectives and engage directly with current sustainability topics.

By embedding sustainability into everyday communication, we foster transparency, encourage participation and inspire employees to actively shape our sustainability journey.

Make healthy sustainable living easy and joyful 

Our recipes, products, and digital tools – such as Cookidoo® – are designed to make healthy cooking and everyday routines easier. From recipe inspiration to cleaner homes, we help customers make practical choices that fit into their daily lives. 

Thermomix® and Kobold supporting healthy lifestyles 

Healthy habits are easier to maintain when they fit naturally into everyday life. With Thermomix®, this starts in the kitchen: Cookidoo®, with more than 6 million subscribers as of December 2025, offers step-by-step guidance for fresh, home-cooked meals, tailored portion sizes and more than 100,000 recipes in over 20 languages. Real-time measuring and guided cooking functions make it easier to prepare balanced meals from fresh ingredients instead of relying on convenience food. 

Home cooking supports more conscious ingredient choices, greater transparency and a stronger focus on nutrition. The Thermomix® Community reinforces this by inspiring customers, strengthening user competency and encouraging more sustainable everyday decisions, such as prioritizing health-promoting ingredients, reducing food waste and preparing meals more resource-efficiently.

A healthy home goes beyond nutrition: Kobold vacuum cleaners feature highly efficient filtration systems that capture more than 99.99% of fine particles above 3 µm, including dust and allergens. TÜV Nord-certified allergy-friendly filters can be disposed of every 8 to 12 weeks without contact with collected dust.

Together, Thermomix® and Kobold help customers build healthier routines and support well-being at home.
