S+C Competence

S+C company

Compliance and responsibility

Our commitment to the highest standards

At Schmidt + Clemens, compliance is a core priority. As a globally active company, we operate within a wide range of legal frameworks and national regulations – and full compliance is absolutely essential to us.

Our dedicated Compliance Officer ensures that all relevant laws and standards are continuously monitored and implemented across all of our global operations.

German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettengesetz)

We are committed to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and support their implementation wherever possible – especially throughout our supply chains. This commitment drives us to promote responsible and sustainable business practices at every level.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations has established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We fully support these goals and actively contribute to their achievement within the scope of our operations and influence.

Whistleblower Protection Act (Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz)

The Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) is Germany’s implementation of the EU Whistleblower Directive. It aims to protect individuals who report violations they become aware of in the course of their professional activities. The law prohibits any form of retaliation against whistleblowers and requires companies to establish secure channels for reporting misconduct. S+C has implemented the necessary measures and provides both internal and external reporting systems in line with legal requirements.

Data Protection

We place great importance on building and maintaining relationships based on trust. This includes our commitment to protecting the personal data of employees, business partners, and other stakeholders in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

Supply chain responsibility

One of our key focus areas is full compliance with Germany’s Supply Chain Due Diligence Act – a law we enforce rigorously throughout our entire value chain. This commitment reflects our dedication to sustainable and responsible business practices at every level.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals form a central pillar of our corporate culture. We especially focus on:

Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth
Goal 5: Gender equality

We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for child labor and forced labor – not only within our company but also in collaboration with our business partners, who are equally held to these standards.

With the implementation of the Whistleblower Protection Act, we offer a secure and confidential platform for reporting potential violations. This helps us identify and address concerns early, actively reinforcing our commitment to high ethical standards.

Compliance as a core value

For Schmidt + Clemens, compliance is more than just following the rules – it is a clear expression of our values and our corporate responsibility. It is a non-negotiable foundation of how we do business – worldwide.
