Zoo Leipzig GmbH

Our forward-thinking vision

Our forward-thinking vision serves as a general orientation for all employees in their daily work and on the path to the future. It defines the basic conditions and principles, on which actions and decisions are based.

Tradition and the future

We are the leading, traditional culture and leisure facility in the City of Leipzig and are proud of our national reputation. An experience-oriented zoo is being created that is close to nature while enabling visitors to learn about animals and their habitats using all of their senses.

Responsibility

Our actions are determined by the responsibility that we have for the lives of the animals entrusted to our care. Our aim is to make all visitors more aware about the protection and conservation of natural habitats – also for future generations.

Visitor-oriented

We regard our visitors as clients that ensure the future of our zoo. We see ourselves as a "service provider" with the goal of meeting the desires and needs of our visitors. It is our obligation to see that our visitors are satisfied.

Goals

We actively work on species and nature conservation, science and education. We would like our visitors to be inspired by our work while enabling them to experience both active and passive recreational activities.

Our organisation and its employees

We regard our employees as the most important basis for success. A high level of transparency and open communication shape our work ethics, creating mutual trust among colleagues. A clear structure of responsibilities enables tasks to be accomplished efficiently. We are motivated by job satisfaction, which increases our work performance and guarantees a constant increase in the attractiveness and the recreational value of our zoo.
