Doing Business Ethically
Compliance, i.e. adherence to legal requirements, including the law on supply chain due diligence, and internal company guidelines, is an integral part of the corporate culture and the success of the Südzucker Group and thus also Van Oordt The Portion Company B.V.. The ‘Südzucker Group Code of Conduct’ serves as a compliance guideline for fair and responsible interaction and action.
By reporting potential misconduct, whistleblowers can help to ensure that it is detected, investigated and remedied at an early stage, both within Van Oordt The Portion Company B.V.'s own business units and along the supply chain. To do this, we also need your help. To this end, we have created the 'Südzucker Compliance Line'.
Code of Conduct
The 'Südzucker Compliance Line' is accessible to employees, business partners, customers or other third parties of the Van Oordt The Portion Company B.V.. All incoming whistleblower cases are checked and treated confidentially.
If you become aware of any actions that are inconsistent with the above provisions and you are concerned about raising these openly, e.g. with your supervisor or your local works council, you can report (potential) violations to us confidentially, or optionally anonymously, via the Compliance Line of Van Oordt The Portion Company B.V. available here to the Chief Compliance Officer of Südzucker AG and the Compliance Officer of the division PortionPack.
We would like to point out that investigations could possibly be carried out more quickly and effectively if the identity of the source is known. If you choose to make an anonymous report, it is the group-wide practice not to take any steps to determine the identity of the whistleblower.
The Compliance Line is operated by an external provider that does not have access to the content or data of your report or your personal data. Please use this reporting channel responsibly. It must not be misused to defame others or to spread false allegations. Therefore, please only provide us with information that you are convinced to be correct to the best of your knowledge. Whistleblowers who report information in good faith will not be disadvantaged in any way.
Thank you for your support!
Managing Director Van Oordt The Portion Company B.V.
