Social
Our perspective
Each employee contributes to the performance of the whole Group, a fact which is represented in our values (see chapter 2.1 in our report). Our continued ability to successfully compete in our marketplace greatly depends on our employees’ understanding and support of these values.
Corporate social responsibility policies
Statement of Jungbunzlauer Group regarding its efforts to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking pursuant to transparency acts such as the Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking 2023 or the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act.
Working conditions over the entire value chain in focus
At Jungbunzlauer, social sustainability means maintaining a fair business environment across the supply chain in accordance with the highest ethical and social standards (e.g. the UN Global Compact). Thus, Jungbunzlauer does not tolerate and strictly opposes child labour and slavery; discrimination based on gender, religion and race; and corruption and bribery. We also expect that, while at work, all employees refrain from agitating for any particular belief (e.g. culture, religion or political views) within the company.
Every company has an impact on not just its own employees, but also on workers throughout the value chain, as well as on customers and local communities. Reacting responsibly in matters of social sustainability promotes growth, productivity, employee engagement and effective risk management, unlocks new markets, and attracts new business partners. Furthermore, we feel that it is simply the right thing to do. Thus, education and training (see chapter 5.1 in our report) and health and safety (see chapter 5.2 in our report) have been identified as material topics for Jungbunzlauer. Due to the review of our materiality assessment in 2023, the topic diversity and equality was added as new material topic (see chapter 5.3 in our report).
Compliance with the highest labour, health and safety standards is of the utmost importance to us. We fully respect the rules of conduct stated in the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Fundamental Conventions, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This approach is defined in our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
