Our approach to CSR
For UniMerch, CSR encompasses environmental, social and economic responsibility. When advising on and selecting products, we therefore consider their materials, how they are made and how they will be used.
Our product advice covers material composition, service life and usability. This includes considering which recycled or certified materials may be suitable for a particular item.
When working with suppliers, we place importance on working conditions, occupational health and safety, and human rights. Information about production facilities, supplier self-assessments and available supporting documentation provide relevant foundations for this work.
Our approach to CSR also includes packaging, transport and disposal after use. We consider these aspects in our advice, taking into account the individual product and its intended use.
Specific sustainability attributes, such as recycled content or certification, always refer to the stated product or component. They do not automatically apply to the entire range.
Hagemanngruppe · Hagemann + UniMerch
UniMerch and Hagemann organise their CSR activities within the Hagemanngruppe. These include operational measures, shared principles for working together and support for social projects.
Our mission statement and Code of Conduct set out the principles that guide how we work together: respect for people, protection of resources, fair competition, and addressing discrimination and corruption. They guide our day-to-day actions.

These measures relate to our operations; they do not constitute a claim about the environmental impact of the products we offer.
The Hagemanngruppe supports Asha for Children e. V. in Nepal by sponsoring two children. We also support local initiatives: an Easter campaign for the Tafel Puchheim-Eichenau food bank involved packing 390 bags with more than 1,000 items from our warehouse.

Open communication
We distinguish between our commitment as a company and the attributes of an individual product. Our social projects and operational measures do not automatically make every item in the shop sustainable. We are happy to help with questions about specific materials, manufacturing information and supporting documentation.
