Ethics and Compliance
An essential foundation of our success lies in the values that define our thinking and actions. Our aim is to build trust among customers, suppliers, and partners. This involves ensuring that our interactions with them are characterized by integrity, honesty, fairness, and appreciation.
We place special emphasis on reliability and transparency. Our partners can rely on us for these qualities, as well as for the confidential handling of sensitive information and data. Furthermore, we strengthen our credibility by refraining from accepting gifts or favors that could influence our thinking and actions. This provides our partners with the assurance that they can always depend on us without reservation.
We also demonstrate respect and responsibility towards the individuals and institutions in our environment. This form of corporate social responsibility is integrated into all of our business decisions.
Promoting a culture of respect
We also foster a culture of respectful collaboration with our employees and advocate for one another. We respect the personal dignity and rights of each individual, regardless of their background, beliefs, or potential disabilities. In order to continuously improve our products and services, we actively encourage participation in our company processes. We value diverse opinions, solution-oriented approaches, and an open mindset, which have become important cornerstones of our success.
We take human rights seriously
We promote equal opportunities and equal treatment for all parties involved, regardless of their skin colour, nationality, social background, disability, sexual orientation, political or religious beliefs, gender or age.
The personal dignity, privacy and personal rights of each individual are respected, and no one is employed or forced to work against their will.
We ensure fair remuneration, guarantee the statutory national minimum wage and comply with the maximum working hours stipulated by local law.
We recognise the freedom of association of employees and will neither favour nor discriminate against members of employee organisations or trade unions.
Local partnerships for short transport routes
We value close, value-based partnerships in all areas of our business and have established our Code of Conduct (CoC) for this purpose.
We prefer local partners in order to minimise our carbon footprint from transport and ensure that our suppliers also act sustainably.
