DSB Logistics - spedycja międzynarodowa

Our obligations

Our company continuously aim at achieving the highest standards of running a business activity and we constantly require implementation of the best solutions from ourselves. Also regulators, owners, our clients and employees expect this from us. We wish to build a culture of co-responsibility for business practices in the range of occupational health and safety, human rights, ethics in business, concern for employees and local communities as well as care of natural environment in all stages of our activity. This also refers to cooperation with Suppliers. Therefore, we incorporate principles of corporate sustainability and responsibility into the purchasing processes, and DSB Logistics Supplier Code of Conduct forms an integral element of the process of cooperation with Suppliers, including the process of their qualification and assessment. In cooperation with Suppliers we are guided by corporate sustainability and responsibility principles. We support our Suppliers in raising awareness and in developing practices within this scope. We are of the opinion that thanks to dialogue and cooperation with Suppliers for the benefi t of corporate sustainability and responsibility we can successfully develop our business and positively influence our Suppliers. We believe that such an attitude will bring benefits to us, our Suppliers as well as our social and business environment.
