Our Code of Conduct

For us, SAVANNA Ingredients GmbH, ecological and social sustainability is the guarantee for economic success. Therefore, responsibility and ethical behaviour towards employees, business partners, society and the environment are an integral part of our corporate philosophy.

This code of conduct points out our basic values, which should guide us as a basic orientation in our daily work.

Please take the time to read the Code of Conduct carefully and feel guided by these principles in your daily work and decisions. Please remember: Success that is not achieved with ethical means is not a success for us.

If you have any questions or doubts regarding appropriate and correct behaviour, you can contact the SAVANNA management or the Pfeifer & Langen IHKG compliance officer who is also responsible for SAVANNA at any time to discuss your questions and get advice.

We count on you.
