Introduction/Preamble

LOG Industrie GmbH is committed to ensuring an ecologically and socially responsible type of corporate governance. We expect the same type of conduct from all of our suppliers. Similarly, we require of our employees that the principles of ecological, social and ethical conduct are observed and integrated into the corporate culture. Furthermore, we continuously endeavour to optimise our business practices and our products (or services) in terms of sustainability and encourage our suppliers to contribute to this task in the interests of promoting a holistic approach. For future cooperation, the Contractual Partners agree to the application of the below regulations for a common code of conduct. This agreement shall be considered the basis for all future suppliers. The Contractual Partners shall comply with the principles and requirements of the Code of Conduct and support each other in doing so. The Supplier shall present this Code of Conduct to its subcontractors and endeavour to contractually oblige them to comply with the standards and regulations therein. This agreement shall enter into force upon signature. As a last resort, a breach of this Code of Conduct may give us legitimate reason to terminate the business relationships including all related supply contracts. The Code of Conduct is based on national laws and regulations such as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) to which we must adhere, as well as international agreements such as the UN’s Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the UN’s Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, guidelines on children’s rights and business conduct, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the international labour standards of the International Labour Organisation and the United Nations Global Compact.
