We at GfK are committed to high standards of compliance and business ethics. Therefore, we require our suppliers to adhere to values of business conduct compatible with our own values.
The Code of Conduct for GfK Suppliers regulates what we expect from our suppliers in terms of ethics of business conduct, conduct towards employees, environmental protection, compliance with the Code of Conduct for GfK Suppliers, and communication throughout the supply chain.
As part of GfK’s supplier qualification process, our suppliers must agree to comply with this Code of Conduct. It is also integrated into the GfK conditions of purchase. Depending on the individual supplier status, the Code of Conduct for GfK Suppliers is either integrated in contracts or agreed on by signing a separate declaration.

As of January 1st 2015, a statutory minimum wage is effective for all industries in Germany. GfK suppliers are expected to comply with the statutory minimum wage legislation when doing business in the respective regions and are held liable for adherence to these regulations.
Our suppliers are asked to sign a declaration to comply with the statutory minimum wage and return it to einkauf-germany@gfk.com
Supplier qualification, supplier evaluation and supplier classification form a vital part of the GfK supplier management system. Our suppliers must comply with our standards and requirements in order to qualify as a GfK supplier. Additionally, strategic match plays an important role when selecting our suppliers.
In 2016 we will further develop our supplier evaluation by reviewing our suppliers in four main categories. This will advance our cooperation with you and ensures continuous improvement for our supplier base.
