Compliance

ROHS/REACH Compliance

MaterialCompliance@de.pepperl-fuchs.com

Compliance with material regulations including EU Directives 2011/65/EU (ROHS2) and EC No 1907/2006 (REACH)

The supplier assures that the delivered products comply with all legal requirements, in particular the EU Directives 2011/65/EU (ROHS2) and EC No 1907/2006 (REACH) as amended, even if the supplier is located outside the scope of the aforementioned EU regulations. Pepperl+Fuchs expects that the substance prohibitions formulated in regulations for the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) will also be complied with when supplying components that do not fall within the original scope of EU Directives 2011/65/EU (ROHS2).

The supplier is obligated to fill out the supplier declaration completely and truthfully for each product delivered to Pepperl+Fuchs and to submit this declaration again to the e-mail address listed here. In the event of changes to the legal framework conditions or changes to the product, the supplier declaration must be resubmitted without request.

Supply Chain Due Diligence Act

The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) aims to strengthen the protection of human rights and the environment in global supply chains and has been mandatory for organizations above a certain company size since 2023. Similarly, the European Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) was published in 2024, which will regulate environmental and human rights due diligence obligations in the future with the same objective as the German LkSG.

The law's due diligence obligations indirectly affect not only the German sites, but also foreign Pepperl+Fuchs companies and suppliers according to a risk-based approach. We are required by law to adequately fulfill human rights and certain environmental due diligence obligations and to report on our compliance with them.

Although you may not be directly subject to the legal requirements of the LKSG/CSDDD or subject to German jurisdiction, you are still indirectly affected. As a supplier of Pepperl+Fuchs, you are part of the abstract risk analysis we carry out and will be contacted by us if a certain threshold value is exceeded. Should this occur, we are dependent on your assistance as part of our duty of care in order to eliminate the potentially identified risk factors.

In this context, we would like to draw your attention to our Supplier Code of Conduct. The written acknowledgement of this SCoC already represents an initial risk-reducing measure. Furthermore, you can use the Pepperl+Fuchs whistleblower portal SpeakUp to report violations of human rights or environmental standards: Pepperl+Fuchs Whistleblower Portal SpeakUp. Get more information on our website.

We recommend the following sources on the topic of LkSG:

Conflict Minerals

In various countries, particularly in Central Africa, revenues from the mining of raw materials such as gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten (3TG) are used to finance armed conflicts. This results in the unacceptable violation of human rights. Avoiding so-called conflict minerals from the affected areas is therefore more important than ever. As the use of 3TG in the electronic components we source cannot be avoided, we apply the standard supply chain data collection procedure to gain control over our immediate suppliers. All affected suppliers are required to provide information on the origin of conflict materials contained in components supplied to us using the most current "Conflict Minerals Reporting Template" (CMRT).

In addition, we have communicated our commitment to remove conflict materials from our supply chain. We expect our suppliers to apply the same standards to their direct suppliers. In this way, we aim to achieve our goal of conflict-free sourcing. If you have any questions regarding the issue of 3TG, please contact your local sales contact at Pepperl+Fuchs.
