Compliance at Blum
Acting ethically and legally in all our business activities is a vital part of safeguarding our company in the long term for the benefit of our employees.
Code of Conduct
We have summarised the key principles of conduct in our Blum Code of Conduct, which sets out binding rules that apply to every employee of Blum. It requires that we act in an appropriate, legally correct and ethically impeccable manner.
Collaboration, integrity and reliability form the basis for our joint success.
Supplier Code of Conduct
Our Supplier Code of Conduct supplements the Code of Conduct by defining the environmental and human rights requirements we place on our partners, especially in relation to our product and service supply chain. This also aligns with our own set of values.
Blum Integrity Line
At the most basic level, we expect any potential misconduct or breaches of our compliance guidelines and other (e.g. legal) requirements to be raised directly with those concerned as part of a personal conversation. This means that these issues can be stopped quickly and easily, and avoided in the future. At the same time, we understand that this is not possible in all cases. We therefore offer a further method of communication in the form of the Blum Integrity Line,
which is our digital whistleblower system. This allows you to report your concerns at a higher level, and you can do so anonymously if you wish. A dedicated team that is responsible for the Blum Integrity Line then deals with your report confidentially. By offering this option, we want to strengthen the willingness to behave lawfully in our company and at the same time make it easier to submit reports. The receipt and subsequent investigation of reports is thus a matter of vital importance to us as a company. We see this as an opportunity to constantly scrutinise and improve our guidelines and processes.
