Code of Conduct: Our requirements of you
In addition to price, quality and reliable deliveries, we also place great importance on ethical, ecological and social perspectives when selecting suppliers. In the Winkelmann Group’s Code of Conduct, we define our requirements for all suppliers of goods, capital goods and services.
Why is the Code of Conduct important?
Our corporate responsibility also extends to our business relationships. That is why we have established guidelines for our suppliers covering sustainable management. And that's why the Code of Conduct is so important: It is a prerequisite for a business relationship.
What is in the Winkelmann Group's supplier code?
Our Code of Conduct contains binding standards for a business relationship – which we must also follow. Among other things, it is based on the United Nations’ Global Compact. The principles set out in our code reflect the values of the Winkelmann Group.

The core points of the code are ethical behavior, respect for human rights, socially acceptable working conditions, compliance with environmental standards and the use of management systems. We expect you, as a supplier and partner, to demonstrate that you are implementing these principles and are promoting them within your own supply chain.
We also look for the following in our partners:
Product and service innovations
Adherence to deadlines and reliability
High flexibility
Responsibility for quality
Cost transparency and efficiency
Environmentally aware and socially appropriate performance
