Supplier Code of Conduct
As a foundation company, environmentally and socially responsible Group management is a matter of course for Zeppelin.
The goal we have set ourselves is to continuously optimize our entrepreneurial activities as well as our products and services in terms of sustainability. We also expect this holistic approach from our suppliers and service providers.
For this reason, we have initiated a joint Code of Conduct. These guidelines, principles and requirements apply as the basis for cooperation
Zeppelin Trust Line
Zeppelin Trust Line is the online whistleblower system for the Zeppelin Group. It is available to all employees, business partners, and customers. The system can be used for whistleblowing purposes; in other words, for submitting messages relating to serious breaches of our values, compliance specifications, and applicable law.
Zeppelin Trust Line functions as an electronic mailbox, via which reports can be made round the clock. The most important difference between the various contact options is that using Zeppelin Trust Line means that the whistleblower can be assured of anonymity. The electronic platform is hosted on an external server, so it is not possible to trace submitted information back to the source.
Forum Compliance Mittelstand
Zeppelin GmbH represents Zeppelin Group as a member of the Forum Compliance Mittelstand. Adhering to the company’s internal compliance rules is a binding requirement for all our employees. It is a vital part of ensuring our company’s long-term success and is a requirement in every business situation, which we aim to take into greater consideration and further develop as a member of the FCM.
The Forum Compliance Mittelstand (FCM) is a voluntary association of small- and mid-sized enterprises and associations that serves to promote and spread a value-driven way of doing business among companies of a similar size. The FCM takes the specific features of SMEs as a starting point and exploits the opportunity to develop and spread practically relevant solutions, concepts, and methods for SMEs. The FCM works at the intersection of business, ethics, and compliance, and fosters dialog between research and practice.
It organizes regular meetings for its members, where they discuss current issues and challenges as part of presentations and panel discussions. The ongoing aim of the FCM is to conduct research projects into compliance management for SMEs and in doing so to actively foster dialog between researchers and the world of business
At Zeppelin, we are keen to use this as a chance to help set the benchmark for dealing with business ethics and compliance in German SMEs.
