Additional remarks:
This declaration of conformity was drawn up by the INPACS sustainability department (cf. criterion 5 Responsibility). Whereas the INPACS headquarters is the disclosing unit in this report, the progress of the network and of its members is the practical reality of the impact of the headquarters’ work and will therefore also be addressed along most of the criteria in this report.
The INPACS head office is maintaining a certified quality and environmental management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001.
Additionally, the CSR rating platform EcoVadis has awarded the INPACS headquarters the platinum medal in 2021. This confirms INPACS advanced sustainability management in the fields of environment, labour, human rights, and ethics, putting the head office into the top 1% of all companies participating in EcoVadis assessments.
As a participant of the United Nations Global Compact, INPACS is committed to the promotion and implementation of its Ten Principles on human rights, labour conditions, environmental protection, and corruption. With this report on the German Sustainability Code, the company is at the same time fulfilling its obligation to disclose the UN Global Compact "Communication on Progress" report.
Where differences in approaches exist between the reporting period and the status quo at the time of reporting, this will be indicated where possible.
