Corporate behaviour

Our Group’s reputation is built on our tradition of high integrity, good business conduct, dedication, and the unbiased excellence of the people who work here and who are fundamental to our achievements. Exhibiting responsible corporate behaviour is key in order to ensure our future economic success on a sustainable basis.

By applying high standards of business ethics and fostering integrity and credibility, we can positively influence our interactions with stakeholders, such as our customers and suppliers, thus preserving our reputation.

For us, ethical behaviour means a commitment to responsible personal and business conduct, including the commitment to the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Fundamental Conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

Our commitment to human rights – in particular, compliance with the ILO conventions on child labour and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – is described in our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy. Furthermore, we prohibit any form of modern slavery, including forced labour and child labour, and human trafficking within our organisation and supply chains as explained in the Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement of Jungbunzlauer Group for 2023.

This approach means that we expect our employees and business partners to treat everyone with dignity and respect, in line with our core values forming an integral part of our introductory training and annual appraisal process. We therefore expect that, while at work, all employees refrain from agitating for any particular belief (e.g. culture, religion or political views) within the company. We have specified this in the Jungbunzlauer Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, which was implemented in 2021. 

With our company-wide policies, such as the Code of Business Conduct, the Health, Safety, Environmental and Sustainability Policy and the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, Jungbunzlauer’s management takes its responsibility for ensuring good business practices seriously. These policies are shared with all employees – including all members of the governance bodies – during their introductory training and are available on our intranet. In case of questions or for advice regarding the implementation of our policies and practices, employees can directly contact their direct supervisor, the HR department or the top management of the relevant entity, or our Executive Committee. There is also a whistle- blowing system in place, which can be used in case of concerns.

The Jungbunzlauer Group is active in all important markets throughout the world, so compliance with different laws and regulations is essential for our business activities. Following the Jungbunzlauer Code of Business Conduct guarantees that our reputation is maintained.
