Minimum social standards

Tchibo’s business model is unique: we offer a varied assortment of non-food articles which changes every week. For us, the process of purchasing our products is a correspondingly complex one. For that we rely on good cooperation with manufacturers across the world.Globalisation allows us to commission products to be made anywhere in the world. But the understanding of values isn’t the same everywhere. What appears obvious to us may not be at all obvious in other regions of the world. Nevertheless corporate responsibility is part of our quality promise. This is because our customers, just like us, want to be sure that Tchibo products are produced under humane and dignified conditions. The requirements we place on our suppliers across the world are correspondingly high.

We help our suppliers to comply with our requirements. To do this, we take the approach of a partnership-based dialogue. With our system for implementing minimum social standards, we set the bar very high – both for our manufacturers and for us. But together we can achieve our goal.
