Economy

Economic sustainability means a corporate culture that is not solely focused on profits but also on the environment and people.

This includes fair trade, sourcing raw materials locally, flexible working hours at the company, fair wages and equal pay, promoting knowledge and learning opportunities, as well as supporting charitable organizations.

We actively create and promote a work environment that includes and treats all individuals with their unique abilities, strengths, and differences equally. Discrimination is not tolerated and goes against our goal of providing a satisfactory and safe workplace. Our code of conduct is outlined in the Code of Conduct document.

The Code of Conduct of the PURPLAN Group forms the ethical foundation of our corporate culture. As a sustainable company, we are fully aware of the significant responsibility we bear and, in line with a sustainable supply chain, have also developed minimum requirements for our suppliers. Our Code of Conduct encompasses human rights, environmental protection, and working conditions, and is based on the following internationally recognized guidelines:

• Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations
• United Nations Global Compact
• ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
• Rio Declaration on Environment and Development
• United Nations Convention against Corruption
