Human Rights and Labor Standards
The human factor as a determinant of success
The human factor as a determinant of success
People are the foundation of our business success – people like our own employees as well as customers and suppliers. With this in mind, compliance with and advocacy of international human rights are just as much a part of our principles as unimpeachable labor standards. We have firmly established these principles with initiatives that include the internationally applicable tesa Code of Conduct and the worldwide tesa Purchasing Charter, which governs our cooperation with suppliers. The content of the policies and rules associated with these initiatives has formed an integral component of numerous staff development measures since their introduction.
In 2010, the number of notifiable work-related accidents fell again and we were able to further reduce our below-average accident figures. In addition, in this reporting year we implemented targeted communication measures for the "tesa Antitrust Compliance Program" introduced in the previous year with training courses and an e-learning program. This helps orient employees regarding fair competition and prevents possible antitrust law violations.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The tesa Code of Conduct defines clear values and conduct guidelines for all employees of the tesa Group. Its content is an integral component of training courses and workshops. >>
PURCHASING CHARTER
Supplier qualification, evaluation, and development have been harmonized across the Group. This helps us ensure that our internationally binding minimum standards are met. >>
EMPLOYEE QUALIFICATION
Our employees are the most important capital for securing tesa’s success. Our corporate culture and targeted staff development and support initiatives take this fact into account. >>
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
We improved our occupational health and safety once again in 2010, as attested by an overall reduction in occupational accidents by 20 percent overall. >>
