Due diligence obligations in the supply chain of Leica Camera AG
The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz - "LkSG") obliges Leica Camera AG to observe human rights and environmental due diligence obligations in its supply chain and its own business operations in an appropriate manner.
With the Policy Statement, Leica Camera AG (hereinafter "Leica") affirms its stance on respect for human rights as a fundamental value, for itself and the entire Leica Group, as well as for its business partners, suppliers and customers. Further details are recorded in the report on the LkSG.
In accordance with Section 8 of the LkSG, a grievance procedure must be established. The procedure enables employees and external third parties to submit relevant information and complaints that indicate human rights and environmental risks and/or related breaches of duty.
Please refer to the Procedural Rules for details of the grievance procedure.
Other things you should know:
The grievance procedure is operated by Leica Camera AG (headquarters in Wetzlar, Germany). Certain data that is necessary for handling a report is processed. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information.
We believe that reports or complaints will only be submitted if the person assumes that misconduct has taken place to the best of its knowledge and belief. However, by way of precaution we would like to point out that a deliberately false accusation can result in penalties under labor, civil and criminal law.
Every report or complaint is handled in absolute confidentiality; every report or complaint is investigated.
