Based on our self-image, we are prepared to take responsibility: for our employees, for our members, for the quality of our products, and for the environment. This is based on our values: respect, fairness, responsibility, transparency, and openness, which are enshrined in our code of conduct. Sustainable business practices require social responsibility along the entire value chain. A fundamental component of this is respect for human rights.
The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) regulates human rights and environmental due diligence obligations along supply chains for companies in Germany for the first time. Hochwald has been subject to the LkSG since January 1, 2024.
You can find more detailed information on how we deal with due diligence obligations in our policy statement.
Sustainable business practices create future perspectives for the environment, society and the economy, and also for each individual employee or business partner of the Hochwald-Group.
The pillars of the Hochwald-Group culture are the division of central requirements and their independent implementation and management in the subsidiaries, as well as a shared understanding of values and risk minimization for sustainable corporate development.
The whistleblowing system with the legal expertise of Ratisbona Compliance GmbH generates additional trust and security by means of a clearly defined structure accessible to everyone as well as the legally based initial assessment, thus ensuring the sustainable success of the Hochwald-Group and prevent damage.
