Our Values

For this reason, we introduced a quality management system in accordance with ISO standards back in 1995, which we are continually developing. Actually we work on ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standard.

On the basis of clearly defined processes and standards, optimally organised workflows and close communication with the customer, we guarantee punctuality, product safety, an attractive price/performance ratio and reliable compliance with legal regulations at national and international level.

At the same time, we offer the necessary flexibility to be able to respond to customer requests at extremely short notice. Quality management is managed and monitored centrally for the entire Group. In this way, we guarantee the same high standards at all our locations.

Employees are the heart of a company. Accordingly, the safety of our employees is a central requirement of our corporate actions. With a health and safety organisation that identifies and implements occupational safety measures, carries out annual occupational safety instructions and provides occupational health care to employees, we ensure safety at the workplace.

In awareness of our responsibility for the environment, we follow the precautionary principle while dealing with environmental problems. We work intensively on logistical processes that are environmentally friendly and follow the principles of sustainability.

Reliability and trustworthiness are key priorities for us when it comes to interacting with stakeholders inside and outside the company. The guideline is our company-wide binding code of conduct.

We support the United Nations Global Compact Initiative.

IPSEN LOGISTICS is a logistics service provider operating on a worldwide basis and in contact with a broad international public. Hence, we are not isolated, but surrounded by customers, suppliers, staff and the society in general. Being a reliable, trustworthy partner and living up to this standard every day is our key to success. For us, it is essential to combine solid economic performance with correct and dependable conduct.

In order to realize this claim and to make it measurable and predictable for our partners IPSEN LOGISTICS has set up a Code of Conduct for the company and its staff. This Code of Conduct defines the company’s principles and standards to be met by management and staff worldwide with reference to their responsibility for the individual and the environment. Through their personal behavior whether on the job or in their private lives, each staff member contributes to the reputation of IPSEN LOGISTICS. In this respect, managers serve as a role model. When implementing this Code of Conduct, national particularities shall be respected as long as they do not contradict our basic principles. Compliance with national law is a prerequisite. IPSEN LOGISTICS supports the Global Compact Initiative of the United Nations by including its principles in the corporate culture as well as the daily business.
