Dürr has committed to the UN Global Compact’s ten sustainable principles in the realms of human rights, labor standards, environment and anti-corruption.
“We are thus underlining once again that we align economic activity with ecology and fair working conditions,” Dr. Jochen Weyrauch, deputy CEO of Dürr AG, says.
By joining the UN Global Compact, Dürr AG has become part of a worldwide network of over 15,000 companies and organizations from civil society, politics and science in more than 160 countries.
