As a reliable partner, we harness stable growth and consistent risk minimisation to ensure the long-term stability and integrity of our business relationships. In doing so, we attach particular importance to the continuous development of our suppliers.

With our global orientation and network enable, we build strong international partnerships and benefit from a broad procurement spectrum. We collaborate in the interests of stable, trusting partnership based on long-term success, continuous improvement and steady adaptation to fluctuating market conditions.

Our vision extends way beyond sustainable and socially responsible and aims additionally to build long-term partnerships as a shared platform to promote innovation and success..

Compliance in procurement Building trust & avoiding risks

In line with our corporate values, we attach great importance to respect, integrity and transparency – both in-house and in the collaboration with our business partners. Compliance is a top priority, particularly in the area of procurement. We ensure adherence to all relevant laws, regulations and internal policies in order to promote a trusting partnership and to identify and minimise potential risks at an early stage.

The risk-based process for selecting suppliers is an important component of our compliance strategy. All of our suppliers complete the Kroschu Capability Check during the onboarding process. Ut involves reviewing legal conformity, including all relevant certifications and regulations.

The shared willingness to comply with all requirements and standards – also in the area of sustainability or ethical responsibility – is enshrined in our contracts.

We also provide regular performance results from our real-time monitoring as part of supplier development programme. In doing so, we consider successful aspects and areas with room for improvement and therefore ensure steady fulfilment of our compliance requirements.

As a global enterprise, we see compliance as a pivotal component of a transparent and responsible corporate culture.

We have established a central reporting office for whistleblowing, which acts as a point of contact for all reports of potential violations. Its purpose is to recognise irregularities at an early stage and take action in good time.
