Company mission statement
General information about the intention of the publishing house
The J. D. Sauerländer‘s publishing house is an owner-managed company. The aim of our publications is to make science and the resulting findings accessible to the public through publication. The scientific and legal interests of the researchers and the protection of personal data are always strictly observed.
Political Engagement
We are expressly committed to complying with all internationally recognized human rights standards (International Bill of Rights and ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work).
We know that a human rights policy or any other policy is not a 100% solution to avoid or mitigate potential/actual negative impacts. But it is a good first step to communicate what is expected internally and externally, for business relationships and for everyone to understand the issues and how to respond.
Continuous improvements
Since J. D. Sauerländer’s publishing house was founded in 1816, our company philosophy has constantly evolved in line with our growing responsibility towards our authors, customers and the environment.
We train and employ people of all ages, denominations, genders and backgrounds equally to be part of modern society. The acceptance of ethical principles ensures that race, skin color, religious affiliation, gender, age, physical condition, national origin or sexual orientation do not lead to discrimination in recruitment and employment.
Compliance
We insist on compliance with all relevant laws relating to human rights. All forms of forced labor, whether by threat or use of force or other forms of harassment or abuse as a means of violence to obtain discipline or control are prohibited.
Requirements
As the company is also committed to environmentally relevant requirements, we include the protection of our environment on an equal footing with legal, economic and social concerns in all company decisions. The obligation to comply with all relevant environmental regulations is naturally fulfilled.
We support the responsible use of resources and invest in environmentally friendly technologies. Product safety, environmentally friendly production and the well-being of our employees are our main objectives.
