Social impact

Kramp is committed to a safe, inclusive and respectful workplace rooted in our values of collaboration, care and ownership. We prioritise strong health and safety standards, embed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in our culture, and ensure fair treatment across our entire value chain. Guided by international human rights principles, we work to protect the wellbeing of all workers connected to our business. We also recognise our wider responsibility to positively impact farmers and rural professionals in the communities we serve, guided by the belief that responsible practices are key to long-term, sustainable value.

Our commitment

In line with our core values of collaboration, care and ownership, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive and respectful working environment for the thousands of employees who contribute to our business across Europe and beyond.

By ensuring comprehensive health and safety practices create a workplace where workers feel safe and empowered.

We embed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in our corporate values and hiring practices, with the goal to boost employee engagement, fuel creative problem solving, and differentiate Kramp as an employer of choice.

Our accomplishments

During 2025, we conducted a thorough review of Kramp’s internal Safety Policy to ensure that it continues to meet industry standards and international best practice. This resulted in an updated Health and Safety Policy which we plan to continuously improve over time, laying a strong foundation for future efforts.

Because we view Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as such a strategically important priority topic, we initiated internal discussions regarding creating a comprehensive DEI Policy centred on fairness, inclusion, and performance-based principles. Regarding gender diversity, our initial goal is to have female representation of at least 30% in senior management positions by 2030.

These policies guide our day-to-day operations by setting clear expectations, ensuring consistent decision-making, and shaping how our employees work, collaborate, and make decisions each day.

Our commitment

We recognise our responsibility to respect and advance the rights, wellbeing and fair treatment of all workers within our value chain – not only our direct employees, but also people working for our suppliers, manufacturers, logistics partners and service providers.

Guided by internationally recognised standards – including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions – we continuously strive to identify, prevent and address social risks and impacts across our supply chain.

Our accomplishments

In 2025, we prioritized engagement with high-risk suppliers outside of the EU – In geographies such as Asia, Asia Minor, and Eastern Europe – to become SEDEX members. We prioritised engaging with suppliers in these countries first because these regions face greater challenges with labour standards, enforcement, and transparency, enabling us to address potential human rights concerns where they are most acute.

Currently, 55 of our suppliers from across the globe are members, with 69% of these holding active memberships, 54% completing self-assessment questionnaires, and 23% having undergone SMETA audits. Additionally, we reviewed our supplier Codes of Conduct to ensure that it continues to cover important issues such as discrimination, child or forced labour in the supply chain, workplace health and safety, and fair living wages. No substantiated reports of forced or child labour were identified within our supply chain in 2025, and all grievances were addressed through remediation.

Our commitment

We are mindful of our broader responsibility to positively impact the lives and livelihoods of farmers and rural professionals in the regions where we operate.

Our approach to identifying, assessing and managing any material impacts (both positive and negative) on affected communities is rooted in the conviction that responsible business practices are integral to long-term, sustainable value creation.

Our accomplishments

During 2025, Kramp Impacts – our dedicated global community outreach programme – supported seven projects in Europe with funds representing approximately €80,000.

With the Kramp Impacts programme, we specifically target agricultural communities with the purpose of providing care and support to move toward a more sustainable future. Our community outreach is guided by three primary focus areas:

Preserving a natural forest reserve in Austria

Since October 2023, through the Kramp Impacts programme, we have supported the preservation of a 72-hectare forest reserve in Austria’s Wachau region in partnership with Austrian Federal Forests (ÖBf). The site protects 62 native tree species, rare wildlife, and specimens that are more than 250 years old. The forest will remain untouched, safeguarding biodiversity, supporting carbon sequestration and water retention, and serving as a living example of climate-resilient forestry.

Supporting local initiatives

To support and encourage sustainable farming practices locally, Kramp Impacts contributed to several initiatives in and around Varsseveld, where Kramp’s headquarters are located. Two examples are the Bronckhorster Beef Festival in Zelhem, and Ode aan de Os in Didam. Another initiative by the Oude IJsselstreek Tree Group Foundation, focused on preserving monumental trees in the Achterhoek region, also received financial support from Kramp Impacts.

Cultivate a Generation – Empowering young farmers and innovators in the UK

Kramp’s Cultivate a Generation is a grants programme that is aimed at supporting the next generation of agricultural entrepreneurs who are innovative, resilient and practice foster innovation, resilience, and sustainable farming. One beneficiary, 20-year-old Isabel Verey from Ampney Down Farm in the UK, used her grant to install fencing and water systems, improving grazing management and tackling water scarcity as she transitions into farm ownership.

Since its launch, the programme has awarded £51,000 across multiple projects, empowering young farmers and strengthening the long-term sustainability of agricultural communities.

Supporting sick children in Hungary

In Hungary, the programme backs a foundation aiding children recovering from bone marrow transplants by creating a riverside retreat with family accommodations, sports facilities, and nature trails, offering a restorative environment to rebuild strength and confidence after long hospital stays.
