Values and Sustainability
"There's hardly anything more boring than working just for the sake of money. There's hardly anything more dangerous than working out of greed. There's hardly anything more joyful than working out of love for the world." – Fritz Bläuel
At MANI Bläuel, our values are at the heart of our daily actions. Since the founding by Fritz and Burgi Bläuel in the late 1970s, respect, appreciation, and love for people and nature have been the cornerstones of our company. These values not only shape our decisions but also our long-term vision for a sustainable and fair future.
Respect and Appreciation for People and Nature
At MANI Bläuel, we believe in treating all people we work with respectfully. Our corporate culture is based on partnership dealings and reliable cooperation. We guarantee fair prices for our partner businesses and actively engage in social projects in the Mani region. Our appreciation for the environment is reflected in our commitment to certified organic farming, which preserves natural beauty and biodiversity.
Another milestone: We are delighted to have won the prestigious TRIGOS Award 2024 in the category "International Engagement", recognizing our decades-long efforts toward sustainability and social responsibility. This award strengthens our resolve to continue advocating for a fair and sustainable future.

Sustainable Business in Harmony with Nature
For us, sustainable business means working in harmony with nature. This means conserving the resources that nature gives us, while ensuring that future generations have the same opportunities. Our olive products come from organic farming, which protects the soil and biodiversity.
Social Responsibility: Supporting Local Communities
We understand that true sustainability also means social responsibility. That's why we support various social projects in the region, including the Lyso Association and the GAIA organization, which organizes the volunteer fire brigade and rescue operations in Mani. Our commitment to fair trade strengthens the local community.
At the heart of MANI Bläuel's work are always people and nature. As the largest employer in the region, we take on social responsibility and create family-friendly jobs—in close collaboration with the farmers.
