Our Vision

Our vision describes the future we aspire to as the TGW World – through the interaction of industrial and social entrepreneurship and the responsibility of the TGW Future Private Foundation as owner and founder.

The foundation philosophy “Focusing on people – learning and growing” shows what we stand for, is made concrete through the Hexagon, and forms the shared core of the TGW World. The three pictures of the future complement this core and make visible the developments that TGW Logistics, TGW Future Wings and the TGW Future Private Foundation aim to achieve over the next five to ten years. This creates a picture that complements itself like yin and yang:

  • the foundation philosophy describes our enduring self-understanding
  • the pictures of the future show what we aspire to and where we are developing towards

Together, they form a vision that provides orientation and enables development.

The Hexagon of the Foundation Philosophy

The Hexagon is one of the two core elements of our vision. It translates the ten guidelines of our foundation philosophy into six concrete dimensions. It makes visible what guides the TGW World and what we pay attention to when making decisions, collaborating or developing something new. None of these dimensions stands alone – they work together, are continuously brought to life and further developed. The Hexagon is therefore not a rigid model, but a practical tool for making the foundation philosophy “Focusing on people – learning and growing” tangible in everyday life.

Purpose orientation

The “Idea TGW” is our purpose and connects the foundation model with vision and impact. We create framework conditions that enable people to shape their professional and private lives in a meaningful way. What matters is not only that we generate profits, but how they are generated and what they are used for.

Conception of human beings

Our conception of human beings assumes that people act out of their own initiative and are therefore intrinsically motivated when trust is given and the framework conditions are right. We therefore view the development of their potential holistically – on the levels of body, emotions, knowledge and consciousness. Only this holistic development makes it possible to initiate changes in the inner world in order to act effectively in the outer world.

Value-system

Our twelve values provide orientation in everyday life: they guide how we interact with one another, how we work and how we lead. They make us recognisable as a purpose-oriented value community. To embed our values in everyday practice, we deliberately use supporting instruments.

Sustainability

We act with a long-term perspective – economically, ecologically and socially. We invest at least 30% of the distribution from TGW Logistics in holistic education for young people, thereby creating one of the most sustainable forms of future impact. In this way, we combine economic strength with social responsibility.

Holistic education

We promote professional and personal growth – internally and externally, individually and collectively. MINDtastic, our internal training and development programme, supports us in making “learning and growing” tangible. This creates an environment in which people can gradually unfold their potential.

Exemplary entrepreneurship

Our four principles – performance orientation, holistic thinking, implementation orientation and the use of synergies – act as catalysts for our aspiration to professionalism. Building on this, we create framework conditions for good governance and a well-functioning work organisation. Innovation management and lean management only take effect in combination with good leadership and are crucial for enabling individual and collective potential to unfold in the best possible way.

Pictures of the Future

They describe the aspirations of the individual areas of the TGW World and the direction in which they seek to develop. They are part of our vision and, together with the Hexagon, show what we stand for – today and in the future.
  • The number one project delivery company. It’s possible!
  • Building a united, future-driven performance team that shapes market innovation with both heart and mind.
  • Through our holistic educational programmes for the development of young people, we contribute to addressing key challenges of our time.
  • Our portfolio of non-profit projects operates with effectiveness, efficiency, and measurable impact.
  • The TGW Future Private Foundation implements the legally binding purpose of the foundation declaration.
  • As a pacemaker, we credibly and courageously lead the way in the joint realisation of the “Idea TGW”.
  • We are closely connected with the foundation divisions, actively co-shape developments, create connections and strengthen the reach and impact of the TGW World.
