WIR SIND BRITA. A global Family

At BRITA, we are more than colleagues – we are a community that strengthens and inspires each other. The BRITA family stands for trust, solidarity and genuine passion for what we do.

For over 50 years, we have been developing solutions that optimise drinking water and make everyday life more sustainable. What began as a family business ‘made in Germany’ is now a global market leader – with over 2,300 colleagues in almost 70 countries.

 

At BRITA we are...

a family company
In 1966, Heinz Hankammer laid the foundation for BRITA – with handmade filter cartridges in his own garden. Today, under Markus Hankammer, we are continuing to run the company as the international market leader in drinking water optimisation in its second generation. As a family business, we know that energy, commitment and creativity are valuable human resources – and at BRITA, they are valued and encouraged.

Experts in water optimisation and individualisation 
We create the best possible drinking water experience for everyone – individually, flexibly and wherever water is needed. Whether from a carafe or straight from the tap, at home, in the office or in your favourite café: filtered, chilled or sparkling – with BRITA, water is exactly how you need it.

Talent developers
At BRITA, your development is our focus – both personally and professionally. We rely on modern learning formats and targeted support that really gets you ahead:

  • Individual development through practical training and digital learning opportunities
  • Targeted talent development with our international leadership programme BOLD ("BRITA Opportunities for Leadership             Development")
  • Career paths with future – over 60 % of our managers come within our own ranks

We believe in the potential of our employees – and create spaces where it can flourish.

Passionately sustainable  
We take responsibility – for our actions and for the environment. We actively drive change with recycling programmes, projects such as Balance the Impact to reduce CO₂ emissions, and the use of renewable energies. And sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference: for example, our 300,000 bees at our Taunusstein site.

Our partnership with Whale & Dolphin Conservation (WDC) is also a project close to our hearts. With the ‘Less plastic is more sea’ campaign, we are taking a stand against ocean pollution.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

At BRITA UK, we believe that diversity drives innovation and that belonging starts with being seen and heard. We’re committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone – regardless of background, identity, or experience – can thrive.


We welcome applications from all communities and backgrounds, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, and neurodiversity.


If you need any adjustments or support before or during the interview process – whether that’s preparation materials, accessibility arrangements, or anything else – please let us know. We’re here to ensure you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

 

This video was created by our DEI Allyship Group; it is a  testament to what diversity means at BRITA – listening and understanding the lived experiences of our colleagues, because that’s the only way to grow a truly inclusive culture. This video brings together honest, personal stories from across our team. It’s not always easy to share, but that’s what makes it powerful. Real voices. Real people. And a reminder of why inclusion is everyone's responsibility.
