Governance

We want to be a role model for the whole world of babies with our ethical core values.

At MAM, we have a clear idea of how we want to work. To this end, we have formulated principles that apply to our employees and business partners.

MAM has firmly anchored its basic ethical principles in its corporate culture. Through membership in the UN Global Compact, we have committed ourselves to adhering to its ten principles, which, in addition to respecting human rights, also include fair labor standards, environmental protection and the fight against corruption. Our MAM Code of Conduct provides an internal and external framework of our principles and ensures a common understanding of ethical business practices. These rules of conduct are communicated not only to our employees but to all existing and new suppliers as well. We follow our principles wholeheartedly.

"Our business is based on ethical principles. We have set clear guidelines for MAM, according to which we act and we expect the same from our suppliers.”

In the Interview: Harald Schermann and Julia Loydl, MAM Procurement, talk about sustainable supplier management and transparent supply chains.

Business Ethics

Acting responsibly and ethical values are an important part of our culture. MAM is growing - and our structures are too. That's why we're revising our MAM Code of Conduct and creating an anti-corruption program. For global implementation, our employees are regularly trained in recognizing and dealing with corruption. This is because our Code of Conduct has a zero-tolerance policy for potential misconduct. We also have our sites audited externally on a regular basis.

Our progress: 

  • Compliance: Further development of the MAM anti-corruption program.
  • Audits: Social audits were also carried out by the Sedex initiative in our three MAM plants in the 2021/2022 reporting period. The next audits are already planned for 2023 and 2024.

Supplier Management

Our suppliers are an important part of our value chain. It is our ambition that all our business partners take on ecological and social responsibility and act accordingly. Our MAM Code of Conduct lays out our expectations for working together as well as the principles that form the basis of every business relationship for us. This allows us to clarify the standards to be met. Example: We have joined the Fair Rubber association to purchase natural rubber for our latex pacifiers. We are committed to fair wages in the supply chain.

Our progress:

  • Compliance: By the end of 2022, we had screened 80% of our suppliers for social criteria and are constantly working to increase this percentage.
  • Local Suppliers: approx. 80% of our suppliers are located within a 400 km radius of our plants.
