Anti-Corruption
(GRI 205-1, GRI 3-3). Danzer’s policy and risk assessment procedures pertaining to Anti-Bribery and Corruption is covered in the section “Governance.”
Internal Controls
(GRI 205-2). The risk assessment that includes anti-bribery and corruption, child and forced labor, and illegal logging and deforestation is conducted at least biennially (every 24 months). The most recent assessment spans 2025-2026. This is an extensive process that involves interviewing sales and procurement staff with dealings in higher risk countries as determined by the spatial risk assessment. Incidents identified and actions taken (GRI 205-3) have thus far been limited to anecdotes of best practice by Danzer employees. Since the ABC Policy was put in place in 2014, staff raise questions of propriety on everything from questionable payment requests to gifts with the CFO and/or the Sustainability and Compliance Counsel at Danzer. We use these examples after each risk assessment in a communication to all affected employees along with reminders about red flags to look out for. All affected employees (in finance, accounting, sales, procurement, engineering, IT, and purchasing departments) are required to read the ABC policy before the communication on the red flags.
Anti competitive behavior
(GRI 206). Anti-competitive behavior refers to actions of an organization or its employees that can result in collusion with potential competitors, with the purpose of limiting the effects of market competition.
This is not a relevant topic for Danzer for three basic reasons:
-
Danzer partially sells commodity products for which the prices are publicly listed;
-
Other Danzer products are proprietary, that is, protected by intellectual property and not subject to competition; and finally
-
Danzer's main product, veneer, has its price determined on a case-by-case basis because each log or sheet is unique, all sorting and grading is individualized and it is judged in value by the customer at the time of sale. Thus, prices are not comparable from one supplier to another.
