Sustainability in purchasing: our ESG risk management process
The German Bundestag laid the foundation for responsible and sustainable value creation in supply chains with the adoption of the Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltsgesetz or LkSG) in July 2021.
HYDAC rises to the challenges of complying with all corporate due diligence obligations in supply chains. Every day, our purchasing department ensures that we meet human rights and environmental legislation appropriately and effectively.
- The goal: to safeguard human rights and help protect the environment. We analyse risks in the supply chain at an early stage in order to introduce suitable measures.
- Support from Integrity Next: our partner Integrity Next helps us to fulfil the legal requirements with a holistic risk management process.
Further information on our Business Code and our Declaration of Principles with regard to the environment and human rights can be found in our Downloads.
Details of our general terms and conditions of purchase as well as special terms and conditions of purchase for machines & systems as well as software can be found here.

Why am I being invited to the ESG assessment and what do I have to do?
We carry out an annual risk assessment of our suppliers. If we identify any anomalies here, the suppliers concerned are invited to an assessment by e-mail to complete the relevant questionnaires and provide documents.
What happens if I fail the assessment?
The aim of the assessment is not to exclude suppliers. We want to work with you to create solutions to protect people and the environment and avert risks.
How do I get access to enter my data and how is it processed?
You will be invited to the assessment by HYDAC via e-mail. The data is entered using standardised questionnaires which are filled out on an online platform. Your data will be treated confidentially and will not be passed on to third parties.
Is it mandatory for me to provide information with regard to the ESG assessment?
In addition to our own standards, legal requirements set out key criteria for the appropriate organisation of our due diligence obligations: the appropriateness is determined by the type and scope of the business activity, the ability to influence the supplier and the severity of the expected violation of the company. An obligation therefore depends on the individual company situation and risk situation.
