ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES: RESPONSIBILITY
Adhering to social and environmental standards is central to what we do. That is why we pay attention to acting in a social, environmentally-conscious and resource-saving way, and not just on our own premises. We also demand that our suppliers, factories and service providers do business responsibly. We only choose companies and production facilities that subscribe to the highest standards of sustainability – just like we do.
CHARTA DER VIELFALT (Diversity Charter)
In 2009, Verticas signed the "Charta der Vielfalt" (Diversity Charter). By doing so, we are advocating a working environment free from discrimination. In accordance with these diversity guidelines, all our staff are appreciated – regardless of their gender, race, nationality, ethnic background, religion or world view, disability, age, sexual orientation or identity.
GLOBAL COMPACT
Verticas is committed to the United Nations Global Compact. We have been orientating our business activities and strategies towards these ten universally-recognised principles in the fields of human rights, labour standards, environ- mental protection and anti-corruption since 2009. We only work together with suppliers and partners who have also signed up to the Global Compact. For example, we have no production sites in countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan and India, where minimum social standards cannot be guaranteed.
