Our team
We are Kala
We are proud that the principles of tradition and modernity are also reflected in our workforce.
Committed and qualified employees are crucial for the success of our company. In addition to flat hierarchies and a casual corporate culture at all levels, we ensure that our organization maintains a familiar, relaxed atmosphere and look forward to our annual team events and celebrations.
We work a 37.5-hour week, which can be flexibly implemented in the office. For us, mobile administrative work during the week is just as much a part of this as modern office equipment. In the commercial area, we work 24 hours a day and 5 days a week according to fixed shift times, which change in weekly rhythms.
In addition to high-quality coffee, water and fruit are available to our employees at all times. A daily changing lunch menu is available in our own subsidized canteen.
Our employees can also take advantage of other benefits such as the JobRad, HVV ProfiTicket, their own parking space, 30 vacation days, language courses, weekly in-house training courses, company pension plan, asset management and other social benefits. Benefits and other social benefits are available to our employees.
Through our ideology of promoting young talent, accompanied by our moral compass (Code of Conduct), we see ourselves as a “Kala family”!

Training
in the areas of logistics and goods handling
We are constantly looking for new, motivated trainees to train in the two areas of logistics and goods handling in our company. In this way, we not only ensure that we remain competitive, but also offer junior staff the opportunity to become part of one of Germany’s largest logistics service providers in the green coffee sector.
We offer a variety of responsible tasks as well as intensive support in the individual departments. As a matter of principle, we do not train for any longer than we need to, which means that after successful completion of the training program, each trainee has the opportunity to be taken on as an employee.

Our Responsibility
NKG Integrity Reporting Platform for NKG employees and external stakeholders.
NKG Kala Hamburg is acting as part of NKG responsibly towards our colleagues, shareholders, local communities and business partners and cultivate a relationship of mutual trust at all levels.
To safeguard this trust, we must strive to prevent unethical or illegal conduct at work and listen to everyone in our value chain when it comes to potential misconduct.
We encourage you to openly discuss your observations regarding potential misconduct with your direct superior, Compliance Representative, or local management. NKG companies’ dedicated local reporting channels can be used wherever these are available and accessible. The Integrity Reporting Platform is an alternative channel for reporting genuine concerns and open to NKG employees as well as external stakeholders.
Reports made in good faith and to your best knowledge will not result in any negative consequences by NKG. The knowing submission of false or misleading information, however, will lead to serious consequences and is a criminal offence in many countries.
Your cooperation is important to prevent and combat illegal, unethical or improper conduct.
