The term “Compliance“ refers to the fact that we, as employees of BHS Corrugated, adhere to the applicable law and internal regulations in all business activities to prevent economic damage and damage to the company’s reputation.
We consider lawful, ethical, and responsible behavior to be an essential part of our corporate and social responsibility.
Compliance forms the basis of all our business decisions and activities. In addition, legally compliant behavior always and everywhere should protect us from personal liability.
The management of BHS Corrugated is clearly committed to comply with the principles of the Compliance Management Systems (CMS). A corporate culture that promotes integrity towards employees, customers, business partners and authorities is the focus of our business activities.
Compliance with these core issues should therefore ensure the following:
- Prevention and detection of compliance violations
- Identification of compliance risks
- Protection against reputational and image damage
- Avoidance of claims for damages and fines
- Minimization of employees’ liability risk resulting from compliance violations
Lasting success takes good practice

Business partners and suppliers
We expect legitimate and ethical conduct not only from ourselves but from our business partners, as well. The principles of conduct and values that we expect from our business partners are therefore stated in our Code of Conduct.
Naturally, the principles of ethical business practices likewise apply to our relationship with our suppliers.
Supply Chain Due Diligence Act: Global added value - centrally controlled
As a Lifecycle Company in the digital age, BHS Corrugated is known for individual, tailor-made solutions. Each order – regardless of whether it is a complete corrugator, a single machine, upgrades or corrugating rolls – always reflects the very special requirements of our customers.
In addition to the requirements for a product itself, increasing and changing expectations of the supply chain are of central importance for a company today. This is not unfamiliar to us in the corrugated industry and is an omnipresent challenge for everyone every day. That is why we face up to our corporate responsibility to respect human rights and the associated environmental standards.
As the basis of our activities, internationally recognized standards, international human rights charters, the UN guiding principles for business and human rights, UN Global Compact, are decisive for our daily work.
With the entry into force of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, the companies falling under the scope of application are obliged to observe human rights and environmental due diligence in their supply chains in an appropriate manner. It includes all steps in Germany and abroad that are required to manufacture the products and provide the services. It applies to actions in one’s own business area and the actions of direct and indirect suppliers.
Basics and obligations of the act:
- Risk management and accountabibility
- Risk analysis
- Prevention, control and remedial action
- Complaints procedure
- Reporting and documentation requirements
- Policy statement on respecting Human Rights and Environmental Standards
Whistleblower system
We want to be informed about any unlawful behavior in our company in order to be able to clarify and eliminate such behavior. Therefore, we have introduced a Group-wide whistleblower system. We encourage everyone – regardless of whether they are an employee, former colleague, customer, supplier or third party – to inform us of any violations of the law or of our guidelines or the Code of Conduct.
Please also use our reporting system to report human rights and environmental violations in relation to the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act.
The whistleblower system is only used to receive and process reports of actual or suspected violations and is not available for general complaints. With this reporting channel, employees of BHS Corrugated and external third parties can report concerns, information and violations confidentially and, if desired, anonymously.
With every report you help to clarify and eliminate misconduct and abuse. All information, including references to the whistleblower, will be processed confidentially and within the framework of the applicable laws.
You can use the following reporting channels to submit a report:
- Direct supervisor
- Works Council
- Compliance Office compliance@bhs-world.com
- Anonymous whistleblower platform "Integrity Channel BHS Corrugated"
In addition to the internal channels, there is also the option of contacting external authorities responsible for the individual case with your complaint or report.
