Human rights
As a leading life science company, the Eppendorf Group develops products and solutions for use in laboratories around the world. We ensure respect for human rights and protection of environmental concerns along the supply chain and among our own employees.
To meet this requirement, the Eppendorf Group has established a comprehensive risk management system for the supply chain and its own business area, which will continue to be developed on the basis of internal and external reviews.
In addition to the expectations placed on all Eppendorf suppliers and employees, our policy statement also describes the components of this risk management system, including internal responsibilities and the most relevant risks.
An essential part of the risk management system is our complaint channels, through which all employees of the Eppendorf Group and external parties can report grievances such as violations of environmental protection regulations, occupational health and safety, social standards, and human rights.
“Since the company’s founding, Eppendorf is acting in accordance with its purpose to improve human living conditions. Respecting human rights and fair working conditions is therefore also an integral part of our corporate culture.”
