Deichmann Group

Deichmann state that they abide by the minimum standards for social security and human rights as set by the ILO and the UN Declaration on Human Rights. They require their suppliers to ensure their workers' have freedom of association, and to be free from forced labour, child labour and discrimination.

"Particularly with regard to his or her recruit-ment, remuneration, advanced training, pro-motion, notice of termination or retirement, the Deichmann business partners and sub-contractors along the supply chain must not discriminate against a person because of his or her race, caste, birth, social class, ethnicity, na-tionality, religion, disability, sexual orientation, membership of an association, political affil-iation, family obligations or gender or tolerate such discrimination."

"Our basic rule is that all DEICHMANN business partners and companies along the supply chain (sub-contractors) must follow the principles laid down in this document in everything that they do. If one of our principles provides for less than a country’s or region’s laws, the national laws and thus the higher standard will apply. In such a case, the DEICHMANN business partners must notify the DEICHMANN Group forthwith. Any provisions or regulations going beyond the law, and as such providing for higher standards, are not rendered void but must be complied with. [...] To check compliance with the Deichmann code of conduct, the Deichmann Group will also use independent auditors for social and environmental audits on behalf of the Deichmann Group. The various Deichmann business partners will be subject to different implementation conditions, which depend upon their role in the supply chain."
