on the Inside

Inside NKG MAG Issue #43

WELCOME Everyone!

We are thrilled to present this new issue of INSIDE NKG MAG, where we explore the driving force behind meaningful change: embracing new perspectives and cultivating an open mindset.

In this edition, we highlight the incredible progress happening across NKG and the transformative power of diverse ideas and inclusive spaces. From navigating regional leadership transitions to empowering local decision-making, we showcase how openness to change strengthens our adaptability and resilience as a group.

We hope this issue inspires you to see the power we have to grow and thrive when we are open and welcome new perspectives.

Warm regards,
Your Group Communications Team

FACES & PORTRAITS

We congratulate Brenda Ulricky Mushi on her achievement as our new Integrity Champion! As a dedicated Coffee Stock Supervisor and active member of the Occupational Health and Safety Committee, she exemplifies the values of transparency, honesty, and fairness in every aspect of her work.

Coffee Culture: A Bean of Knowledge for the Future of Italian Coffee

“The idea behind Coffee Culture came from our desire to further position Bero Italia as a key reference point in the coffee world—not just commercially, but also culturally and educationally. Our sector is constantly evolving, and we felt a strong need to respond to the growing demand for professionalization in the Italian market. There was a lack of space where coffee could not only be explained but truly experienced, studied, and understood in depth. That’s where the idea of an open, educational center came from.”

NKG Holding “who is who”: Introducing the Group Tax department

Neumann Gruppe in Hamburg consists of departments with a diverse variety of functions and competencies, which both serve the general strategic orientation of NKG and provide specific support for the group companies. In our INSIDE NKG MAG we want to look at what competencies exist in the holding company, for whom these could be helpful and interesting, who is responsible for what, and a lot more. In this issue, we would like to introduce Group Tax.

OUT OF THE BOX

The newly established NKG Coffee Council aims to support NKG at a strategic level as an independent Think Tank. Its five members bring diverse perspectives and professional backgrounds from different industries – all united by a curious and open-minded interest in what drives and shapes NKG. In this special edition of our “Five by Three Questions”, we would like to introduce you to the people behind the Council. What motivates them, what guides their thinking – and how do they hope to contribute to NKG’s future?

Gender equity is not just a moral obligation – it’s essential to creating stronger, more innovative teams and businesses. In a world where many companies and countries are experiencing setbacks in gender equality, it is more important than ever for us to stand by our values and promote diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion.

BEHIND THE SCENES
