ACT, FEEL AND
THINK SUSTAINABLY
Cosphatec Code of Conduct
Since its founding in 2005, Cosphatec has set itself the objective of meeting the highest standards – at all levels and in all its activities. We set standards for ourselves, for example in terms of product quality, internal processes and our interaction with each other. And we also set standards for all the people, companies and institutions that work with us.
We have therefore been dealing with ecological, social and ethical issues for a long time. When putting these standards into everyday practice, however, it is not enough to simply act according to our own moral compass, because regulatory and statutory requirements have also steadily increased over time. Growing social awareness also calls for specific evidence, such as quality and certification labels.
While this pressure requires radical changes from many companies, Cosphatec has always implemented topics such as sustainability, fairness and quality with great conviction – not just because we have to. The Cosphatec Code of Conduct aims to make this way of thinking transparently clear. We therefore reach out to any like-minded companies – for close, trusting and long-term partnerships. In addition, we hereby publicly undertake to deal transparently and fairly with both nature and all people.

Protecting human rights
The protection of human rights is our top priority. We consistently reject forced labor, child labor, exploitation, human trafficking, discrimination and any form of deprivation of liberty.
We are actively committed to the safety and physical integrity of all people. We also defend the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of association.
Diversity is a core value for us. We promote an open, respectful corporate culture and are firmly opposed to all forms of discrimination, bullying, sexual harassment and coercion.
Appreciation and motivation
The health and safety of our employees, service providers and partners is our most important principle. We take specific measures to ensure that the health and safety of everyone involved is protected.
We also attach great importance to flexible and modern forms of work. We enable mobile working, flexible working hours and part-time models in order to best meet individual needs. Mobile working, flexible working hours and part-time models enable a better work-life balance. Our employment contracts are fair and we ensure that overtime is avoided or compensated.
At Cosphatec, trust and appreciation take center stage. We create a working environment that is characterized by respect, openness and mutual recognition.
Responsibility for people and nature
Our actions follow the highest environmental standards – and go far beyond these norms. We consistently focus on nature, actively promote biodiversity and use sustainable raw materials. Our products have been awarded renowned certifications such as COSMOS, NATRUE, RSPO and organic. In this way, we ensure that we use natural resources responsibly and continuously reduce our ecological footprint.
We reject animal testing without compromise and only use animal-free alternatives.
We also maintain fair, partnership-based and solution-oriented cooperation with our partners, customers and suppliers. We stand for ethical business practices and resolutely oppose unfair practices such as price dumping and corruption.
Ensuring quality and keeping information secure
In order to guarantee product safety and quality at all times, we rely on a comprehensive and sophisticated quality management system. Our in-house laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art analysis facilities that go beyond the usual market standards. This is how we ensure that our products meet the highest standards.
Transparency and open communication are essential for us – especially when it comes to challenges or problem cases. We promote a proactive error culture and work in a solution-oriented manner.
When handling data and information, we strictly adhere to the highest data protection and security standards. Our processes comply with the applicable legal requirements and the requirements of the GDPR.
Cosphatec is a company in constant change. That is why we promote awareness of the values and principles anchored in our Cosphatec Code of Conduct in all areas of the company. Just like our company, our measures and our Code will continue to evolve in order to successfully meet new challenges and requirements.
