Declaration of principles for the protection of human rights

For us, unconditional respect for human rights is a fundamental aspect of responsible corporate governance and of our responsibility towards society. This has always been of central importance to us. We are aware that our business activities bring us into contact, whether directly or indirectly, with human rights-related topics and that these are influenced by our actions. Alongside the ethical justification for our actions, we are also convinced that we can only succeed on a permanent basis if our business activities are compatible with people and the environment. This is the only way we can securely position our company for the future.

Our commitment to protecting human rights applies equally to our own business activities and to our value chains, and in particular to our supply chains as well.
