Interzero stands for zero waste – for a sustainable circular economy that avoids waste, conserves resources and protects the climate. As a partner for sustainable circular solutions and innovative plastics recycling, we support our customers in recycling recyclable materials and significantly improving their environmental footprint. Sustainability is fundamental to our corporate strategy and an integral part of our business processes.
In our Interzero Group, we highly bundle specialised services and expertise through our Interzero Plastics Recycling (IPR) and Interzero Circular Solutions (ICS) divisions and the Interseroh+ dual system. This includes the development of customised circular concepts – analogue and digital – as well as the operation of modern sorting plants and the extraction and marketing of quality-tested recycled raw materials. We provide market-orientated plastic regranulates and compounds for a wide range of industrial applications.
Our success is based on responsible corporate management geared towards long-term value creation. In our procurement activities, we pay attention not only to process-related, economic and technical criteria, but also to social and ecological aspects such as human rights, working conditions, corruption prevention and environmental protection. In order to ensure the long-term success of our collaboration, we have developed a guideline that supports us all in fulfilling the corporate and legal requirements, because we share the responsibility.
For Interzero, respecting human rights and protecting the environment are fundamental aspects of our responsible corporate governance. The credibility, proper conduct and commitment of our company and its employees are crucial for gaining the confidence of our customers, partners, and the general public. Each and every individual has a part to play in shaping Interzero’s reputation.
Interzero expects its suppliers to comply with the applicable national laws, principles of the United Nations Global Compact and this Supplier Code in their activities. Furthermore, suppliers assure in the context of their cooperation that the following regulations shall be observed in their companies and that appropriate procedures and work instructions shall be established and communicated to enforce the regulations.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these General Terms and Conditions of Purchase shall apply to all orders and contracts for which Interzero Plastics Recycling GmbH and all companies affiliated with Interzero Holding GmbH & Co. KG in accordance with Section 15, AktG (German Company Law) (hereinafter referred to as the Buyer) are the Principal, Buyer or party placing orders for work. The terms and conditions shall also apply to all future business transactions without the Buyer being required to refer to these General Terms and Conditions of Purchase again in each individual case.
Our corporate values provide a basis for how we want to work together now and in the future. Our Code of Conduct also serves as a set of binding guidelines for our conduct in the workplace. It is designed to help us constantly review our own behaviour, act responsibly in every situation, and meet increasingly complex legal requirements.
