Supply chain at Alzchem
The link between business and respect for human rights is an essential part of our corporate responsibility and is in line with the expectations of our stakeholders. The entry into force of the German law on the due diligence of companies in supply chains ("Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz") further underlines these efforts.
- Our Purchasing department ensures that the company-wide standards are respected to when procuring our raw materials. As a member of the BME Compliance Initiative (Bundesverband Materialwirtschaft, Einkauf und Logistik e.V.), we are obliged to require all suppliers to comply with the code of conduct defined by this initiative and to ensure this through regular evaluation.
- We are regularly audited and evaluated by "Together for Sustainability" (TfS), an initiative of the chemical industry with regard to the sustainability of global supply chains. The focus here is on environmental protection, labor and human rights, occupational safety, business ethics and responsible procurement.
