The German Supply Chain Act
In compliance with the requirements of the German Supply Chain Act, we provide a publicly accessible system for the direct and confidential reporting of notifications and potential complaints to a contact person whom we have commissioned. Employees and external third parties alike may use this opportunity to submit their concerns at any time.
Any complaints with respect to the German Supply Chain Act are processed based on our Complaints Procedure, which ensures a standardized and documented process for all participants.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct defines our expectations for all business partners regarding honest and transparent business activities in compliance with applicable legal requirements.
Short routes and reusable packaging
At the HEIDENHAIN headquarters in Traunreut, around 800 suppliers provide the goods necessary to manufacture our products. Of these suppliers, around 10% are located less than 50 km away. This proximity allows us to handle some of the transport ourselves, resulting in optimized routes and reduced emissions. And 70% of our supplied materials are delivered in reusable packaging, resulting in less waste.
Regionality at our cafeteria
Short delivery routes and dependable partners also play a role in the meals we provide to our employees. These factors ensure fresh, high-quality and sustainably sourced food and beverages. Of our cafeteria's 24 suppliers, 14 are located less than 50 km away. Eggs and some of our meat, for example, are sourced from select organic farms. And our coffee comes from regional roasters.
