Supplier Code of Conduct

ROTHENBERGER is a group of companies that is steeped in tradition. It has been operating internationally for a number of years and views itself as a cosmopolitan family with strong corporate values.

ROTHENBERGER produces the highest performance hand tools, machines, accessories and consumables in its sector, all with excellent functionality and clearly of great benefit to users.

With a view to maintaining sustainable growth and a solid financial foundation, ROTHENBERGER focuses on long-term objectives and entrepreneurial expertise. ROTHENBERER offers its employees an interesting, varied and attractive working environment. The ROTHENBERGER Group acts responsibly in everything it does, in accordance with ethical principles and corporate values and in conformity with legal requirements.

ROTHENBERGER fulfils its responsibility towards customers, suppliers, partners, employees and society and considers itself bound by the UN global compact’s ten principles.

The ROTHENBERGER Group also considers itself bound by the standards set out in the conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), in particular what are known as the core labour standards and by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

This Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC) defines the ROTHENBERGER Group’s principles and its requirements of its suppliers and business partners, i.e. each contractual partner who supplies ROTHENBERGER with goods, materials and/or services, as well as their employees. In signing this SCoC they undertake to act responsibly and to abide by the basic principles contained in this SCoC. This SCoC represents a minimum standard that should prevent situations which might call into question the integrity of companies and their employees.

ROTHENBERGER reserves the right to change this SCoC as required. In this event, the ROTHENBERGER Group expects its suppliers to accept appropriate changes of this kind.
