Our corporate principles, the Wirthwein Code of Conduct and expectations towards our partners
As an international market and technology leader for advanced plastics technology, we see it as our duty to harmonize the impact of our actions with the expectations of society, far beyond the legal requirements and duties of care. As a company, we have set out these obligations in our Corporate Principles and Code of Conduct.
- Corporate Principles
- Code of Conduct
- Declaration of principles for compliance with human rights and environmental due diligence obligations
In addition, we expect our business partners to share our values and commit to upholding them. This framework is defined in the Code of Conduct for Suppliers.
Compliance with laws, regulations and internal guidelines is our top priority. We can only protect our company, our employees and our business partners if we act in accordance with the law and with integrity.
