ZF Friedrichshafen AG currently is revising its Business Partner Principles aiming at adapting it to the growing demands of a globalized economy. In this context, the statements and the requirements regarding the human rights diligence will be specified further. Together with other suppliers and OEM in the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), our company is working on an assessment standard that examines different criteria of Corporate Social Responsibility including human rights issues. Thus, we are seeking to improve risk analysis in our supply chain and to facilitate a reasonable implementation of the human rights due diligence as stipulated in the NAP.
