governance
Responsible corporate governance is embedded in our long‑term strategy, culture, and daily operations across all locations. We are guided by clearly defined core principles - excellence & sustainability, respect & responsibility, and integrity & transparency - anchored in our Code of Conduct and company‑wide policies. Oversight lies with the Supervisory Board, which mandates the Executive Board to implement sustainability‑driven objectives. Clear roles, transparent rules, ongoing communication, and mandatory onboarding plus refresher trainings ensure these principles are lived every day.
policies & certificates
Our policies guide how we operate our business with integrity, respect and accountability, ensuring that we meet our obligations to lawful and ethical conduct, workplace and human rights, and environmental responsibility.
We apply independent, non-governmental, internationally recognized standards and certification schemes for all our production and converting locations to safeguard the quality, safety and efficiency of our products, services and systems.
training for responsible conduct
Mandatory e‑learning and targeted trainings embed compliance, integrity, safety, and ethical decision‑making across the company. Our “Social Responsibility @ delfort” program is required for all new employees and refreshed every two years; sites without platform access receive the content in classroom format. Additional modules cover anti‑corruption, IT security, anti‑money‑laundering, and conflict‑of‑interest management to ensure consistent standards worldwide.
supplier management: extending integrity across our value chain
Responsible governance does not end within our own operations - it extends to every partner in our global supply network. By applying stringent selection criteria, conducting regular audits, and requiring compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct, we ensure that our commitment to integrity, fairness, and transparency is reflected throughout our supply chain. This approach strengthens resilience, supports long term partnerships, and promotes sustainable business practices at every stage.
That’s why we’ve made this focus a central pillar of our sustainability roadmap.
responsible sourcing
We work closely with our suppliers, who share our vision of building upon principles of ethics, integrity, respect for people and the environment. This is how we guarantee efficiency, compliance, and responsible product solutions.
