The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act aims to protect human rights and environmental standards in global supply chains. It obliges companies to identify potential risks and take measures to prevent violations. For the TÜV NORD GROUP, compliance with these requirements is of particular importance in order to ensure responsible and sustainable business practices.
The BAFA report documents the measures and progress made by the TÜV NORD GROUP in complying with the statutory due diligence obligations. It provides a transparent overview of how risks in the supply chain are identified, assessed and minimized in order to ensure the protection of human rights. The policy statement sets out the company's guidelines and principles for dealing with human rights and underlines the TÜV NORD GROUP's commitment to acting responsibly and ethically worldwide.
Knowledge and implementation of the contents of these documents are of central importance for all employees and for the interested public. They contribute to creating a fairer and safer world. Both documents reflect the TÜV NORD GROUP's commitment to taking responsibility and making a positive contribution to society.
The TÜV NORD GROUP is convinced that the observance and protection of human rights should be the basis of all sustainable business activities, which is why we have also appointed a Human Rights Officer. As an internationally active group, we assume responsibility towards our employees and society and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fulfill our due diligence obligations. This responsibility encompasses both our own business activities and our business relationships along our supply chain.
