Blum Supplier Code of Conduct The Blum Supplier Code of Conduct supplements the Blum Code of Conduct and defines the specific human rights and environmental requirements that we place on all our partners within the supply chain for our products and services. It sets out the fundamental principles of our business and our conscious commitment to uphold these and to contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. In line with this commitment, we seek to work with partners around the world that share the principles outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct, raise awareness of human rights and environmental topics among their employees and demand the same of their own business partners. A copy of the Supplier Code of Conduct was sent to Julius Blum GmbH suppliers during the reporting period so that they could familiarise themselves with the contents. We expect our suppliers to comply with all applicable legislation as well as the regulations set out in our Supplier Code of Conduct at every stage in the supply chain. To underline this message, a note to this effect is included in every order. A central whistleblower system – the Integrity Line – is now also available on the Blum website so that suppliers can report any infringements of the Supplier Code of Conduct or other relevant misconduct. ➔ GRI 2-23 Governance The Blum Supplier Code of Conduct Environment Social responsibility Governance Careful use of natural resources; prevention of soil and water contamination and air pollution; prevention of harmful noise emissions Ban on all forms of child labour, slavery, forced labour or comparable practices Compliance with national and international human rights standards and environmental regulations Re-use and recycling of resources wherever possible; environmentally friendly waste management Protection of freedoms of association and assembly, fair working conditions and the right to collective bargaining Establishment of fair and humane working conditions Ban on illegal use of land, forests and bodies of water Guarantee of safe and healthy working environment; prohibition of any form of discrimination Firm commitment to sustainable company goals and their implementation through suitable measures Compliance with all requirements for and restrictions on the use of harmful substances, conflict minerals and chemicals Respect for the rights of indigenous populations Compliance with ethical value system within the supply chain The Blum Supplier Code of Conduct is available on our website at www.blum.com. 81
