Responsibility

60 years of social commitment

Social responsibility is of utmost importance in the German SME sector and one that companies are completely committed to. Since Psyma’s founding, sustainable social commitment has been a matter close to Psyma’s heart. Our responsibility does not end once you leave the company. Our corporate commitment encompasses not only the day-to-day business, but also includes areas such as ecology / environment, employees / workplace and society /community.

With more than 60 years of experience and entrepreneurial activity, Psyma is one of the pioneering companies in German market research and has always been committed to their social responsibility. This responsibility which we live and breathe, shapes our actions every day.

Responsibility is a targeted investment in one’s own competitiveness and in a society in which future generations will also have opportunities. When it comes to businesses contributing to a sustainable society, the term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is heard more and more often. In order to anchor and implement a CSR strategy not only in the company but also in exchange with other companies, Psyma is a member of the initiative, CSR Regio.net in Nuremberg and was awarded for its ongoing contribution and commitment.
