Code of Conduct for Christ Group suppliers
The Christ Group is committed to following environmentally and socially responsible business practices. We expect the same commitment from all our suppliers. Our employees are also required to observe the principles of proper environmental, social and ethical conduct and ensure that these principles are embedded in our corporate culture. We are also committed to continuously optimising our business activities and our products or services in respect of sustainability, and we ask our suppliers to play their part here as we strive to follow a holistic approach.
Our contractual partners agree that the following provisions for a mutual Code of Conduct will apply to future collaboration. This agreement will serve as the basis for all future deliveries. The contractual partners undertake to comply with and support the principles and requirements set out in the Code of Conduct. Suppliers undertake to provide their subcontractors with this Code of Conduct and to make every effort to contractually bind their subcontractors to compliance with the standards and provisions set out in the Code of Conduct. This agreement will form the basis of all deliveries/services and will enter into force when the first services are provided. Any violation of this Code of Conduct may ultimately constitute a reason and cause for us to terminate the business relationships, including all associated supply contracts.
The Code of Conduct is based on national legislation and regulations to which we are bound, such as the Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz; LkSG), and on international conventions such as the UN Civil Pact and the UN Social Pact, guidelines on the rights of children and corporate policy, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN Guidelines on Business and Human Rights, the international labour standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Global Compact.
