Manufacturing and processing of chemical substances is the core business of our Company, and one of the most important, strategic business areas include purchases of raw materials made as part of the current purchasing strategy.
The supply of raw materials necessary for production is not only a matter of ensuring the continuity of the supply chain, but also a key element of the Company’s integrated purchasing strategy. Most of our products require specialized, often hard to access raw materials, and the profitability of our production is strongly dependent on the cost of obtaining raw materials and the logistics associated with them.
The activities of our Company are subject to the legal regulations resulting from the relevant European Union directives, national legal regulations, international, supranational, national and regional regulations. All these regulations constitute the framework for conducting business activity of the Company. They define its behaviour in different markets and influence the conditions of its cooperation with stakeholders, including suppliers of raw materials, materials or services.
We make every effort to conduct our business with respect for individual rights and environmental regulations. In 2014, we joined the UN Global Compact, a global organisation dedicated to sustainable development. The principles of the UN Global Compact, as a globally recognized and universal set of standards, form the basis of relations with the organization’s business partners.
The Code of Ethical Conduct is therefore the foundation on which relationships based on trust, honesty, respect for human rights, observance of the law and conducting business in accordance with the idea of sustainable development are built.
