"Compliance and human rights

Our SpeakUp compliance hotline provides a way to report any illegal activities or violations of internationally applicable conventions. The commitment to human rights aspects in the business context, such as the prohibition of child and forced labour, fair and safe work conditions, freedom of association, and a ban on discrimination, is a central selection criterion for suppliers. These principles are embedded, among other things, in our Supplier Code of Conduct, which is a fundamental part of our framework agreements. When contracts are concluded, an agreement is made with suppliers regarding the continuous monitoring of human rights risks through regular communications, audits, and training. This enables us to verify the effectiveness of preventive and, if necessary, mitigation measures designed to protect human rights at suppliers. Furthermore, agreement to our Supplier Code of Conduct is a prerequisite for participating in tenders on our online tender platform"
