Introduction

At Infineon Technologies, sustainability unites social, ecological, and economic responsibility. Our objective is to maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers and to reward and do business with suppliers who demonstrate their responsibility in the same manner.

As a globally operating company, Infineon Technologies takes its role in the multinational community seriously: We are committed to the principles of the UN Global Compact, the Code of Conduct of the Responsible Business Alliance, we adhere to national laws and to the principles we have defined for ourselves in our own Business Conduct Guidelines. These standards build the framework of our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Subject and scope

The Supplier Code of Conduct reflects the essential business behavior requirements that we expect our suppliers to uphold. Each of our suppliers and its affiliates shall warrant …

  • compliance with all applicable laws and regulations,
  • adherence to the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, the Fundamental ILO conventions, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as well as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and, specifically, compliance with the requirements described in chapters A-H of the present document,
  • that all requirements and standards described herein are addressed and passed on along their supply chains by obliging their suppliers and subcontractors to comply with the Supplier Code of Conduct1 and providing a copy of it no later than upon conclusion of the respective contract or subcontract.

Please note that our suppliers shall comply with the currently applicable version of the Supplier Code of Conduct of Infineon Technologies available on our website.

1 Suppliers shall be authorized to comply with this obligation on the basis of the supplier's own code of conduct, provided that the protected rights set out therein correspond to those of this Supplier Code of Conduct.

A. Labor and human rights

Infineon Technologies respects and observes internationally proclaimed human rights as defined in the International Declaration of Human Rights and Fundamental ILO Conventions. We ensure that we are not complicit in human rights abuses, whether directly or by way of beneficial or silent complicity. Our suppliers shall comply with these principles as well.

Diversity and anti-discrimination - Our suppliers shall treat their employees with respect and dignity by complying with the Conventions on Equal Remuneration and Discrimination (International Labour Organization's Convention 100 and Convention 111). Infineon Technologies thrives on the diversity of its staff. Our global diversity management provides the framework for a corporate culture which values the individuality of each staff member and promotes equal opportunities - irrespective of age, disability, ethnic-cultural origin, gender, religion or belief, or sexual identity. Our suppliers shall comply with these principles as well. Our suppliers must not tolerate any discrimination, harassment or offense on the basis of for example race, color, national, ethnic or social origin, gender, gender identity, health status, religion or belief, age, migrant status, disability, political or labor union affiliation, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital or family status. All forms of sexual harassment, corporal punishment, physical coercion, and verbal abuse shall be prohibited, as well as any intimidating, hostile or offensive conduct that interferes with an employee's work performance.

Forced labor and slavery - Infineon Technologies is against any form of forced labor; this includes any work that is required of a person under threat of punishment and for which the person has not made himself/herself available voluntarily. Hence, we demand that suppliers reject forced labor, including indentured labor, bonded labor, and any other form of forced labor according to the Convention Concerning Forced or Compulsory Labour (International Labour Organization's Convention 29 and Convention 105).

Infineon Technologies does not tolerate suppliers that traffic workers or in any other way exploit workers by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction or fraud. All work shall be voluntary, workers shall be free to leave work, terminate their employment or other work status with reasonable notice and must not be required to pay recruitment expenses, either in their home country or the country where work is performed.

Furthermore, the suppliers shall ensure that no form of slavery, slavery practices, serfdom or other forms of domination or oppression takes place in the workplace.

Child/underage labor - Infineon Technologies is against all forms of underage labor. Suppliers shall comply with the Convention on the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment (International Labour Organization's Convention 138) and shall be committed to prohibition and immediate action to eliminate the worst forms of child labor according to the Convention Concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour (International Labour Organization's Convention 182).

Hence, our suppliers must not permit work to be carried out by persons …

  • under the age of 15,
  • under the applicable minimum legal age for employment,
  • under the applicable minimum legal age for completion of compulsory education, whichever is highest.

Exceptions apply to employment relationships in developing countries operating under International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 138 and to governmental authorized job training and apprenticeship programs that clearly benefit the persons participating.

Furthermore, workers under the age of 18 ("young workers") must not perform hazardous work that is likely to jeopardize their health or safety or that compromises their education (e.g. night shifts, overtime). Suppliers shall have a remediation plan in place, in the event of any underage labor found.

Working hours - Our suppliers shall meet local legal working hour and rest day requirements. Suppliers shall ensure that overtime is voluntary and paid in accordance with local and national laws and regulations. Suppliers shall keep employee working hour and pay records in accordance with local and national laws and legal regulations. In line with the Code of Conduct of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), a work-week shall be restricted to 60 hours, including overtime, and workers shall have at least one day off every seven days except in emergencies or exceptional situations.

Wages and benefits - Infineon Technologies compensate its employees with an adequate living wage for their work with wages that meet at least minimum legal standards and comply with the applicable laws, regulations, and agreements on general working conditions. We expect our suppliers to provide their workers with a fair compensation, (including overtime pay and benefits) that, at a minimum, meet the legal minimum standards.

Freedom of association and collective bargaining - Infineon Technologies expects its suppliers to respect workers' rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining in accordance with local legal requirements. Suppliers shall comply with the Conventions on Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention (International Labour Organization's Convention 87) and the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining (International Labour Organization's Convention 98). Workers' rights to associate with others, form and join (or refrain from joining) must not be a subject to harassment, discrimination or retaliation. Trade unions are free to operate in accordance with the applicable laws of the place of employment, including the right to strike and the right to collective bargaining.

Third-partyemployment agencies - Infineon Technologies expects our suppliers to ensure that the third-party recruitment agencies it uses comply with the standards and practices covered by the Infineon Technologies Supplier Code of Conduct and that they act ethically and in the best interests of workers when contracting labor.
