Our Purchase

Our supplier philosophy

 

"The same principles that apply to customers also apply to suppliers. We especially maintain an open and partnership-like relationship that provides the basis for a long-term cooperation. We carry out price negotiations in a goal-oriented and consistent manner, but always in an open, objective and fair manner. We expect the same from our suppliers as well."

Labor practices, child labor, forced labor

 

People have the right to voluntary, safe and reasonably paid work that respects and protects human rights.
Suppliers do not allow employment of children under the minimum age to take up employment in the respective country or at school age (usually 15 years or 14 years in some countries). Approved training programs are supported. Forced labor or any kind of involuntary work is prohibited. Employees can freely choose from the supplier and their personal identification documents must not be retained.
We control and monitor this with unannounced supplier visits / audits!
