The behavior of each individual is therefore a determining factor. The basis for this at BSH is the "APPLiA Code of Conduct", and the "BSH Supplier‘s Code of Conduct". Supply chain challenge BSH is a premium supplier. We not only strive to ensure top-class quality and innovative products – but equally ecological, economic and socially correct business practices. We therefore require not only of ourselves but also of our suppliers to behave in a responsible and fair manner with respect to environmental protection, human rights, occupational safety and health. After all, our consumers should and can expect, along the entire value chain, products from us that are created on the basis of these principles. Our principles: Observance of locally applicable laws and provisions Prohibition of forced and child labor Anti-discrimination Limitation of working hours Fair remuneration Occupational safety and health Freedom of assembly and the right to collective agreements Environmental awareness We are committed to correct behavior BSH played a major role in drafting the "APPLiA Code of Conduct" (formerly known as CECED). This is the Code of Conduct, which deals with the principles of ecological and social responsibility, and many important guidelines for dealing with each other: from the prohibition of forced labor and child labor, anti-discrimination and limitation of working hours to fair pay, occupational safety, health, the right to collective agreements, and environmental awareness. These are all principles that have been a contractual component for our suppliers in the "BSH Supplier’s Code of Conduct" since 2007.
