By developing and providing content, software and training programmes so that they can focus on the essentials. This is exactly what the Haufe Group does with its well-known brands Haufe, Lexware, Haufe Akademie and many others.
Its solutions combine expert knowledge with smart tools, offer innovative and customised application programmes as well as qualification and training opportunities for specialists and managers. This is why the Haufe Group is one of the leading providers of integrated business and workplace solutions.
Around one million customers rely on its services - from solo self-employed persons to numerous small and medium-sized enterprises and all DAX 40 companies.
The group of companies employs around 2,500 people at a total of ten locations in Germany, Spain and Romania. The family-owned company has been firmly rooted at its headquarters in Freiburg for over 70 years and is now one of the largest private employers. The Haufe Group feels closely connected to Freiburg and is regularly involved in numerous events in the city and the region.
It all began with the idea of company founder Rudolf Haufe to provide entrepreneurs with important information on tax and business law in loose-leaf format so that they could concentrate on their core business.
This basic idea still characterises the Haufe Group today.
It has been reinventing this product again and again for over 70 years:
Growing together with promising ideas - that is the basic idea behind Haufe Group Ventures. With venture capital, Haufe Group Ventures acts as an investor that supports and accompanies founders and their companies. At the same time, ideas for innovative and forward-looking products are developed in the Venture Studio of Haufe Group Ventures, all of which follow the same idea: To support people in the best possible way so that they can work successfully.
The Haufe Group sees its development into a sustainable company as a logical transformation step. The family-owned company does not think in quarters, but in generations. That is why it is taking up the global guidelines of the United Nations and making its contribution to sustainable development - in ecological, social and economic terms.
This is realised on two levels: Firstly, the Haufe Group is driving forward its sustainable transformation. Secondly, it empowers its customers to shape their own corporate development in a sustainable way.
