We respect non-negotiable human rights. We take responsibility for
our employees and society.
Our responsibility includes both our own business activities and those of our
Partner. We take into account, among other things:
Our code is the binding guideline for our actions. We support our
employees to act responsibly and with integrity
We assume that our business partners in the EU act in the same way and that we
therefore do not conduct any active investigation.
For non-EU partners, we oblige our business partners to comply with the
Human rights standards through our Partner Guidelines; it defines
Minimum requirements for social and environmental standards.
These mainly concern:
Human rights due diligence remains part of the compliance and
Risk management system. Internal guidelines and SOPs complement and complete the
holistic approach and responsibilities. With the help of internal
Training and internal audits will ensure the effectiveness of our policies and processes
controlled.
Employees, business partners and third parties can report suspected cases or complaints to
different channels, such as our ombudsman. All reports will be
treated confidentially and followed up. The whistleblower can remain anonymous.
