Human Rights

thyssenkrupp is committed to the highest sustainability standards, which include environmental and social responsibility as well as good corporate governance.

At thyssenkrupp* we have created a compass in our mission statement to guide our actions and behavior. This naturally includes respect for human rights as a core value at thyssenkrupp. We are committed to the United Nations International Bill of Human Rights and its implementation throughout thyssenkrupp. We also demonstrate our commitment by signing the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact.

The main principles and rules of our actions and the standards we set ourselves in our dealings with business partners and stakeholders are summarized in the thyssenkrupp Code of Conduct. This forms the principal framework for the Executive Board as well as for all thyssenkrupp leaders and employees. The thyssenkrupp Code of Conduct contains all the fundamental principles and rules for responsible and ethical behavior towards people inside and outside the company. We base our actions on these. We also work to ensure that our direct suppliers respect human rights and are committed to ensuring that this is also the case for indirect suppliers.
