The BSH is facing the challenge of keeping up its high level of performance
despite tight budgetary restraints while the demands made on its services continue
to increase. A difficult economic framework has made it necessary for us to
perform a critical assessment of all tasks, quality requirements, and organisational
structures.
For a future-oriented development of the BSH based on its capacity to change
and evolve, our employees have developed a set of basic principles serving as
guidelines in our common endeavour. Our corporate principles constitute the
essence of our corporate culture. They include useful elements from the ongoing
reform of the public administration as well as time-honoured traditions and
values from the BSH's history of over a hundred years: high qualification, motivation,
acceptance of responsibility, and a sense of belonging.
Our corporate principles enable us to perform our tasks as a provider of
maritime services with high competence and customer orientation. In our internal
communication, they ensure a continuous flow of information and employee participation
which are the prerequisites for motivation, identification, and a willingness
to assume responsibility. The BSH corporate principles are continually reviewed
and updated.
