HiPP
HiPP GmbH is a leading company in the organic food industry, with a legacy that dates back to 1899. Founded by Joseph Hipp, the company began with the production of baby food made from rusk flour in Pfaffenhofen/Ilm, Germany. Over the decades, HiPP has grown to become the largest processor of organic and biological raw materials globally, driven by a commitment to organic farming and sustainability.
The company’s core philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that the best care for babies comes from the best practices in organic farming. HiPP has dedicated over 60 years to organic farming, ensuring that all products are made without genetically modified raw materials, in strict adherence to the European Union's organic production regulations. This commitment is reflected in the extraordinary quality of HiPP's products, which are designed to support the healthy development of babies while being environmentally responsible.
HiPP’s approach to quality and sustainability is central to its operations. The company’s sustainability management practices emphasize responsible handling of nature, humanity, and the economy. HiPP has been proactive in integrating ethical principles into its business model, including implementing an internal Ethics Management system in 1999. This system was established to counteract unethical practices and ensure that the company’s operations align with strong moral values and social responsibility.
In recent years, there has been growing concern about the moral implications of short-term profit-driven decisions in global business. HiPP addresses these concerns by upholding high standards of ethical conduct and social responsibility. The company’s strong Christian values underpin its ethical framework, which focuses on transparency, fairness, and respect for all stakeholders.
HiPP’s dedication to its values is evident in its products, which are crafted to offer the best from nature while minimizing environmental impact. The company’s ongoing commitment to organic principles and ethical practices positions it as a leader in the organic food industry, continually striving to provide high-quality, responsibly-produced food for babies and their families.
