SUPPLY CHAINS + CODE OF CONDUCT
Social responsibility
As a family-run, globally operating company, we, G. Wurm GmbH + Co. KG and all companies in the Wurm Group, are aware of our social and ecological responsibility in a globalized supply chain and are expressly committed to it. We expect the same not only from our employees, but especially from our suppliers, service providers and all other business partners. By encouraging our business partners, especially our international suppliers, to follow our rules of conduct, we ensure the implementation of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act applicable in Germany.
In addition, we naturally expect and assume that all partners will comply with the applicable national laws and regulations. With our rules of conduct, or Code of Conduct (CoC for short), we define a minimum standard for our business relationships.
We encourage all of our business partners to respect this, implement it and, in turn, communicate it to their suppliers and monitor compliance with it. Our customers can download a version signed by us in five languages in the customer backend. We have been a member of amfori, an organization often known as BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), for years.
International suppliers who undergo a BSCI audit show us that social responsibility is taken seriously. Regardless of this, we regularly assess the situation in our manufacturers' factories through personal visits.
