We are guided by the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an international framework. Companies have a responsibility to respect human rights throughout their supply and value chains and to help prevent human rights violations.
We see it as our responsibility to respect human rights in our business relationships and procurement processes. For us, this also includes respect for and openness toward different cultures, opinions and worldviews.
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) came into force on January 1, 2023. We support the objectives of the Act and incorporate human rights, working conditions and relevant environmental standards into our procurement and supplier management processes. Our Policy Statement on Respect for Human Rights sets out the principles that guide our approach.
We also support a number of social and humanitarian organisations and initiatives, including UNICEF, the World Food Programme, Amnesty International, the Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Foundation and CARE, as well as the Karl König School in Nuremberg, which supports children and young people with intellectual disabilities.
In addition to materials such as paper and wood, recycled plastics are increasingly used as material options in promotional products.
Depending on the product, recyclability, reusability and material origin can also be relevant selection criteria. Many promotional products are now available with recycled materials or other clearly specified material options, without necessarily compromising function or design.
In our online shop, we follow the legal requirements and labelling obligations applicable to our products. Material composition and other relevant product features are stated directly on the respective product page. Depending on the product, packaging options may include recycled paper or other clearly specified materials. For selected packaging and assembly processes,
we also cooperate with inclusive workshops and social enterprises, where applicable. In our supplier relationships, we define and communicate requirements for working conditions and social standards. Our aim is to provide clear, transparent information about the individual characteristics of each product rather than relying on broad environmental or ethical claims.
