Code of Conduct
About our Code of Conduct
In 2013, Danzer began consolidating all its policies and procedures into a single source for employees seeking guidance on business ethics and company values. Danzer found the "Ten principles of the UN Global Compact" to be concise guiding principles to frame Danzer's Code of Conduct, which is a list of conducts expected of the Danzer workforce and, in some cases such as anti-bribery, third-parties.
The Code of Conduct has been approved at the Executive Board and Board of Directors levels. The Danzer Code of Conduct was translated into the 4 operating languages of Danzer (English, German, Czech, and Spanish) and added to all Employee Handbooks, integrated into new employee orientation, and is the subject of employee training at all levels. The Danzer Code of Conduct is a dynamic document that is reviewed regularly to include constructive suggestions collected from all Danzer stakeholders.
This Code of Conduct is an information tool for all employees of Danzer. As such, all employees are encouraged, even obliged, to give their feedback on the improvement of this system or report any deviations from it to their respective supervisor or Executive Board member or securely and confidentially to a 3rd party through the Grievance Mechanism.
The Danzer Code of Conduct is divided into four sections:
- Responsible Procurement
- Rights of People
- Corporate Governance
- Environment, Health and Safety
The above order does not imply priorities. All four categories are of equal importance to Danzer.
