At B. Braun, we understand corporate responsibility holistically

Principles and Guidelines

B. Braun has implemented binding Codes of Conduct and Compliance Standards across the Group on the topics of human rights and environmental protection. In these, we commit to respecting human rights and the core labor standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We expect the same from our business partners.

Furthermore, we have established a comprehensive management system to ensure our due diligence obligations, to identify risks related to our defined protection rights within our supply and goods flows, and in our own business operations. For this purpose, responsibilities, rules, and processes are clearly defined, including risk mitigation measures and control mechanisms. The management system is aligned with our defined protection rights and will evolve in response to dynamic economic, social, and environmental conditions.

Complaint Mechanism

Employees and third parties outside the B. Braun group have the opportunity to report violations or suspicions through our Integrity Hotline. Reports and information can also be submitted anonymously, where legally permissible. Reports through this hotline are followed up, and misconduct is sanctioned if necessary. In the case of violations by our business partners, B. Braun reserves the right to demand improvement measures or ultimately terminate the business relationship.
