Supply Chain Management
As reliable company, ARNOLD is firmly convinced that the best support to the society and the corporate objectives can be achieved by reliable behaviours and practices. We consider it to be a minimum requirement that a company has to be managed by full compliance of all applicable laws, regulations and instructions.
ARNOLD is fully aware of the different cultures and challenges, existing in connection with the global interpretation and application of these principles. Although ARNOLD is strictly convinced that these principles should apply everywhere, it has to be considered that methods to fulfill these expectations can be different and must be in conformity with the laws, values and cultural expectations of different societies of the world. We declare our solidarity with the principles of United Nations Global Compact (UN GC) and the declaration of the International Labour Organization (ILO) regarding fundamental principles and employment laws.
ARNOLD is of the opinion, that implementation of these principles can be done best by continuous improvements, pushing the supplier performance forward as time goes on.
