SUPPORTING GOOD AND FAIR FRAMEWORK CONDITIONS
Governance: Sustainable Management
At ZINKPOWER, responsible corporate governance is the key to sustainable success. Our governance approach ensures that we act transparently, ethically and in accordance with the rules.
As an international group of companies ZINKPOWER is committed to complying with legal regulations and respecting international human rights as well as labour and environmental protection regulations at its own sites and along the entire supply chain.

ZINKPOWER strives to fulfil the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, LkSG) and the EU regulation on conflict minerals.
We conduct a comprehensive risk analysis to identify and assess social and ecological risks in the value chain. We use qualitative and quantitative analyses based on external sources and expertise to prioritise risks and assign these to specific suppliers. This enables us to take targeted measures to effectively minimise risk.
Our procurement strategy is strongly focussed on sustainability. In future, we want to ensure that, in addition to economic aspects, social and ecological criteria are increasingly taken into account at every stage of the purchasing process.
Compliance
For us compliance means more than just adhering to the law: It is about practising integrity, ethical behaviour and responsible conduct along the entire value chain. The aim is to minimise risks, strengthen the trust of employees, business partners and customers and promote a corporate culture based on transparency and fairness.
Our Code of Conduct serves as a comprehensive guideline for all employees, managers and business partners. It ensures that our actions are in line with the highest ethical standards and legal requirements. Our Code of Conduct is based on international standards such as the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the guidelines of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
To ensure that these principles do not just exist on paper, we rely on concrete measures: Training, clear internal guidelines and our whistleblower system create security and make it possible to recognise and rectify potential violations at an early stage.
Our Code of Conduct is based on the following core principles
Reports of violations—whether related to human rights, the environment, labor law, or integrity—can be submitted anonymously through the whistleblowing system. This service is available to both employees and external partners. In this way, we work together to create a work environment characterized by respect, responsibility, and trust.
Reporting System
We promote a transparent corporate culture in which integrity, sustainability and human rights are actively practised.
To this end, we offer all employees and business partners the opportunity to report violations of our corporate standards, as well as environmental, social, or human rights requirements, anonymously and securely. Our anonymous whistleblower protection system ensures prompt handling of reports and helps us continuously improve our processes. In cases of violations or inadequate implementation, clear measures are taken—ranging from clarification and training to the termination of the business relationship. This is how we ensure that our values are not merely stated, but consistently put into practice.
