Implement responsibility together


The Otto Group is a retail and services group operating worldwide with supply chains extending throughout the world. Acting as partners in a spirit of equality is integral to our culture and a vital part of our success. We think beyond our direct sphere of corporate influence and consider the situation of people at all levels of our value chain.

Here we believe that respect for human rights is an essential factor and the promotion of decent working conditions on the ground a crucial target. We are committed to resource efficiency in the manufacturing of our products and build processes that protect the climate and our environment.

Our standard, attitude and journey are enshrined in the Otto Group Path, which – together with our vision of “Responsible commerce that inspires” – is the basis of everything we do.

Acting in concert with business partners, our Supply Chain Strategy expresses our clear aspiration to be an effective agent for change in production countries. However, successful business relationships are built on the provisions of law and associated minimum requirements and standards which are set out in the following and which you must accept and uphold.

Business Partner Requirements

A shared responsibility for people, animals and the environment within our value chain is the foundation of our collaboration as partners. We depend on your cooperation as business partners in this regard. You will find our minimum standards for responsible actions within the supply chain under Business Partner Requirements.

Business Partner Training

Sustainability has been an important driver of our actions for many decades and is a key aspect in our Corporate Responsibility Strategy. To inform our business partners about our strategy and our requirements, our trainings provide guidance.
