Un engagement clair envers des pratiques et des principes commerciaux éthiques constitue la base d’une conduite responsable des affaires. Chez Siemens, nous respectons et promouvons les droits de la personne dans nos relations d’affaires et tout au long de la chaîne de valeur.
As a global company, we are aware of our social responsibility and are fully committed to respecting human rights along the entire value chain. We regard this as a central element of integrity and responsible corporate governance.
Our holistic approach to respecting human rights encompasses our operations and considers our supply chain and customer-related business activities. We aim to identify and assess adverse impacts as early as possible and mitigate those responsibly.
Our Business Conduct Guidelines clearly state our commitment to respect human rights. They contain the fundamental principles and rules governing the way we act and do business.
Human rights due diligence can only be effective if the material topics are known, periodically re-assessed and integrated in a systematic due diligence approach.
This is why we turn to our findings from our stakeholder consultations, our periodic dialogues with key stakeholders, such as investors, shareholders, employees, customers and NGOs as well as our findings from grievance channels or sustainability audits.
We are committed to identifying and addressing human rights impacts, taking preventive and mitigating measures, ensuring transparent reporting and continuously improving our environmental, social and human rights due diligence to meet stakeholder expectations and regulations.
The maintenance of sustainable supply chains is one of our guiding principles. Siemens expects its to commit to the obligation of the Siemens Group Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Third-Party Intermediaries. It reinforces the fundamental human rights of our suppliers' employees. Special attention is paid to preventively assess potential risks in areas such as child labor, forced labor, labor and environmental practices.

Nous développons des concepts de formation ciblés et spécifiques à chaque fonction avec le soutien d’experts et de partenaires externes.
