Driving education forward – economically, socially and sustainably
Our principles
Education is our responsibility. That is why we act sustainably, value-driven, and with a clear focus on the future – always putting people at the centre. These values connect us with our parent company, the Klett Group.
The Kalaidos Education Group is part of the Klett Group. We share common principles.
Shared values
As a partnership-based education alliance, we take responsibility and bring our principles to life – in every collaboration and decision.
Agile
We have a decentralised organisation because this is the best way to achieve entrepreneurial action, customer proximity and flexible behaviour in our markets.
Modest
We have a decentralised organisation because this is the best way to achieve entrepreneurial action, customer proximity and flexible behaviour in our markets.
Learning from mistakes
We know that those who take on challenges make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes.
Value-driven
Education, as we understand it, can only succeed on a foundation of freedom, the rule of law and democracy. We do everything in our power to defend and advance it.
Lifelong learning
We never stop learning. Curiosity, openness and reflection make us flexible.
People-focused
Our efforts are centred on people who want to develop their talents and achieve their goals in life through efficacy of education.
Sustainable
We strive for environmental sustainability in everything we do. We will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. In doing so, we are guided by the targets set by the European Union.
Open-minded
Whilst employing all the necessary precision in our daily work, we take an open and light-hearted approach to the many and varied aspects of reality.
Compliant
We comply with the law at all times.
Resilient
We always have the long-term perspective of our actions in mind.
Responsible
We are proud that education and culture are the focus of our companies, and we do everything in our power to live up to our responsibilities.
Reliable
We keep our promises.
Diverse
We are strong because we are different.
Respectful
We are respectful and fair in our dealings with each other to prevent the human element from going ‘to the devil’ (Ernst Klett Jr).
Securing the future
We have a solid financing base. We invest most of our profits. Healthy returns secure our future.
