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. Social responsibility throughout the value creation chain and respect for human rights are key pillars of everything we do.
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.
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.
