Supplier Relations

In a company context, human rights cover – in addition to the four central labour rights – a good and safe working environment. Companies are, however, not only responsible for their own actions. We believe that we should extend the responsibility to include the parts of our supply chain where we have entered into contracts and, consequently, have a direct influence.

Since Danfoss is a global group with product development, manufacturing and sales on six continents, our purchasing organization is also global to support our earnings goals.

We have around 230 purchasers across 45 purchasing units worldwide. These purchasers strengthen the competitiveness of the Danfoss product divisions by entering into mutually beneficial purchasing agreements and initiating extensive and profitable supplier co-operation arrangements.

Expectations to suppliers

Our suppliers must meet high standards in business practices, environmental requirements, and labour welfare. Respect for environment and people are inherent in the way we do business.

Our suppliers are required to comply with the UN Global Compact principles.

Since its founding, Danfoss has been committed to responsible business in all the countries where it operates. We not only work to expand to new markets but also to enrich the communities where we set up our facilities.
This includes working with suppliers in line with those commitments.

All new suppliers are required to sign Danfoss’ Code of Conduct, which includes rules for social and environmental responsibility, and current suppliers must sign the Code of Conduct upon renewal of contracts. In 2009, Danfoss’ Code of Conduct was reviewed and updated with the right to privacy, among others, and more requirements of environmental responsibility.

Danfoss expect all suppliers to comply with the requirements in the Danfoss Negative List where certain chemicals and materials are banned or restricted in use.

Corporate Citizenship

Danfoss’ overall goal within Corporate Citizenship is "keeping our own house in order".
This applies to employees, so that they have an attractive workplace and a healthy working environment. It applies to the environment, where Danfoss products contribute to energy savings, and where the environmental impact of their production is constantly being reduced.
And it applies, in a broad sense, to social and ethical responsibility.
Efforts are continually being intensified, because when employee satisfaction is high, consumption of resources is as low as possible, and the company’s ethics and reputation are good, the result is a positive effect on the accounting bottom line.
