Collaboration & Dialog

Dialog as a success factor
Understand expectations, identify requirements, discuss challenges: For HUGO BOSS, communicating with all important stakeholders and finding new approaches together is both an obligation and an opportunity. That’s why HUGO BOSS organizes regular events to discuss important topics with employees, business partners, and civil society representatives.


Shaping the dialog

HUGO BOSS strives to conduct an open, constructive dialog with stakeholders. The company has countless touch points with a variety of individuals and interest groups that are affected by the company’s decisions along the entire value chain – including employees, customers and business partners, shareholders, and investors, as well as non-governmental organizations and representatives from civil society, business, academia, and politics.

Discussing challenges and potential solutions together with these stakeholders is both a responsibility and an opportunity for HUGO BOSS. The company, therefore, also relies on dialog with its stakeholders for the evolution and execution of its sustainability strategy. The dialog with existing partners is broadened continually – with scientific institutions, animal welfare organizations, consumer protection groups, and other NGOs. HUGO BOSS also continues its involvement in external collaborations for the same reason.

Our involvement in external collaborations

HUGO BOSS places great value in collaborating with other companies and organizations, to work on systematic sustainability challenges along the value chain through consolidated expertise. For this reason, HUGO BOSS engages in initiatives and organizations where numerous stakeholders, some from widely differing contexts, work together to achieve common goals. The largest initiatives are compiled here.
