Responsibility Governance
Lived responsibility
Our corporate policy aligns with our mission, strategy, and core values. A central element of lived responsibility is openness with our partners, which can only be built on trust developed over many years. Our values shape not only our internal community but also our relationships with suppliers. We aim to make our quality and product standards clear, comprehendible, and practical to implement.
"Responsibility in the supply chain only becomes real when we work with our partners as equals. Our role is to raise awareness of our goals and to demonstrate that responsibility is a core element of our understanding of quality and creates genuine added value for consumers"
Mark Bezner, Owner and CEO of OLYMP Bezner KG
OUR VALUES
)
Corporate culture: our framework for lived responsibility
Our values of responsibility, openness, trust, courage, and enthusiasm form the foundation of a corporate culture in which people treat one another with respect and support each other – anchored in our Code of Conduct. OLYMP employees can raise concerns and complaints (also anonymously) through the works council, the HR department, or our whistleblower system – actively participating within our open culture of dialogue. Established grievance channels also exist within our supply chain, in collaboration with the Fair Wear Foundation, the International Accord, and the OECD contact point.
Resilient supply chain
A partnership-based approach to our long-term suppliers, grounded in the OLYMP Code of Conduct and the OECD guidelines, helps build stable, lasting relationships. Given the global challenges facing the textile industry, this strong foundation is more important than ever. Close, trust-based partnerships actively strengthen resilience across the supply chain. We support our partners through regular exchange, joint quality reviews and, where needed, hands-on technical guidance.

"Clearly setting out our expectations with partners is the first and most important step. Just as crucial is communicating them in a way that is easy to understand and actively supporting their implementation. This responsible approach fosters productive, efficient collaboration grounded in mutual respect."
Johann Trischberger, COO of OLYMP Bezner KG
