Social Responsibility. Acknowledgement and observance of human rights: We expect our suppliers to acknowledge and observe human rights. This especially includes the acknowledgement of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) of the General Assembly of the United Nations and of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). • No discrimination: We expect our suppliers not to discriminate their employees and other persons due to their gender, age, origin and skin color, language, home and social origin, natio- nality, beliefs, religion or world view, conviction or sexual orien- tation, or disability. • Compliance with ILO core labor standards: We expect our suppliers to ensure fair labor conditions according to the defined ILO core labor standards both in their own operations and in their supply chains. These globally endorsed social standards to improve the working and living conditions cover areas such as the prohibition or abolition of forced and com- pulsory labor, the protection of the freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, equal pay, the prohibition of discrimination on the job, the minimum age for admission to employment, and the elimination of the worst forms of child labor. The full list of agreements including their official names can be viewed e.g. under xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx-xxx- standards/kernarbeitsnormen/lang--de/index.htm (in German). • Ensuring occupational health and safety: We expect the supplier to respect his employees’ rights with regard to occupa- tional safety and provide them with a healthy work environment. • Compliance: The supplier (entrepreneur) confirms that he has given his personnel suitable instructions in order to prevent and avoid conduct that violates the intentions and motives of national and international conventions against corruption, such as Sections 298 et seq. of the German Criminal Code (StGB) (Offenses against Competition), Sections 331 et seq. of the German Criminal Code (StGB) (Offenses Committed in Public Office), or Section 130 of the German Act on Regu- latory Offenses (OWiG) (Violation of Obligatory Supervision in Operations and Enterprises).
