Info

Foreword

In 1998, Centurius Import Export GmbH (here: CENTURIUS GmbH) was founded by Klaus Kook. Currently there are 15 employees working at the Hamburg location. As distributors, we see ourselves as mediators between continents.

As an internationally active family company, we place great value on integrity and have high standards of ethically correct, legal and compliant action. We are committed to our responsibility towards our business and social environment. Violations of the Code of Conduct, as well as the request for the violation, will not be tolerated and will be consistently persecuted and punished with the legal means available. Regardless of legally prescribed sanctions, this can lead to personal consequences for the individual employee.

All employees of CENTURIUS GmbH are bound by the regulations of this code of conduct. It sets out the values, principles and procedures that determine our entrepreneurial actions. The management's aim is to adhere to ethical standards and to create a working environment that promotes integrity, respect and fair behaviour. A strict legal and fundamental business policy serves the long-term interests of the company.

In order to maintain our good reputation, the personal demeanour of our employees is significant. The code of conduct is the basis. It should also ensure clarity when working and show our partners that values such as responsibility, cooperation and legally compliant action are extremely important to us.

Compliance with laws, regulations and internal rules

Regular trainings ensures that our employees are familiar with the laws and regulations relevant to their work. Internal company rules must also be taken into account. The company management informs the employees timely before introducing new regulations. New employees are trained immediately after starting to work in order to ensure legally compliant work.

We are committed to complying with the applicable legislation and the relevant minimum industrial standards.

CENTURIUS GmbH follows the following guidelines:

Principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations (UN)
United Nations Global Compact (Code of Conduct for a Globalized Economy)
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
Human rights (in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights): protection of human rights, no complicity in human rights violations
Labour (according to the principles of the ILO): protect freedom of association, abolish forced labour, child labour and discrimination
Environment: supporting ecological and responsible behaviour, promoting environmentally friendly technologies
Anti-corruption: Avoid all forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery.

It is extremely important to us that these standards are observed, even if this may appear strategically and economically unfavourable or inappropriate from the point of view of the individual or the company, even if a manager contradicts instructions. Each individual employee is responsible for ensuring that their behaviour always complies with these standards.

We also see it as our duty to act economically, socially and environmentally. CENTURIUS GmbH therefore strives to conduct its business competently and ethically and to protect fair competition in all markets in which it operates by complying with applicable laws on cartel bans, competition and restrictions on competition. Unfair advantages over customers, suppliers or competitors should be avoided. All criminal acts are prohibited.

Sustainability and environmental sustainability

CENTURIUS GmbH is aware of the scarcity of resources and responsibility towards future generations. Compliance with all environmental protection laws is mandatory for all employees. When packaging our shipments, great value is placed on not wasting resources. The use of paper should be enjoyed with utmost care. We therefore ask our customers to send the supplier invoices by email and not by post. In order to avoid unnecessary environmental pollution, we collect shipments and send them out together.

Tolerance and equal opportunities: The working atmosphere that we live within our company is determined by respect and tolerance and every single employee is expected to work for such a working environment. Equal opportunities and fairness are particularly important to us. This also applies to dealing with our global partners. Friendly cooperation is a matter of course for us. We therefore reject discrimination, harassment, disadvantage, degradation or other humiliation; but also preference for their employees or business partners based on their ethnic origin, their gender, their religion, their worldview, their political disposition, a disability, their age, sexual identity or other ethically, socially and legally protected characteristics. Any form of harassment at work, in particular sexual harassment of any kind, is generally prohibited. It is irrelevant whether the person concerned can evade the harassment or whether the offender considers his own behaviour to be acceptable.

Our values: tradition, close cooperation within the company and intensive contact with customers and suppliers, family and fairness.

It is therefore important to us that family and work can be reconciled as best as possible.

Leadership and social interaction: We work on an equal footing and engage in intensive dialogue with one another in order to offer our customers the best possible service. This ensures a quick and smooth exchange of information. Problems are discussed in our weekly meetings and everyone expresses their opinion openly. Loyalty to the company is a prerequisite, so there should be no conflict of interest among our employees.
Dealing with third parties (business partners, suppliers and the public): We expressly reject corruption and bribery in order to maintain fair competition. A confidentiality agreement applies to all business and trade secrets, data protection is extremely important to us and a cornerstone for our customers' trust in us. Our data protection officer monitors compliance with the Federal Data Protection Act.

Quality Policy

Mission statement and corporate philosophy

Our mission statement captures the values and basic principles that are unique to Centurius. It serves the goal of creating a foundation of trust between our management, business partners, customers and employees and of establishing a clear framework for all areas of everyday work.

Our mission, vision and values

Mission

We offer our customers complete service: from a single source, from the procurement of different materials to export and shipping. Our international team ensures uncomplicated, inexpensive and fast material procurement through the personalized support of our customers.

Vision

We would like to be the first point of contact for the manufacturing industry worldwide when it comes to material procurement of any kind.

Values

Honesty

Values such as honesty, fairness and reliability apply equally to us when dealing with our employees, our customers and other interlocutors. In order to be able to comply with these values, we promote open communication and value transparency. We trust our customers, suppliers and other trading partners.

Community

Each one of us is a specialist in his or her field of work – but also part of a larger whole. Our mutual respect for one another and our solidarity with one another make us a strong team.

Customer satisfaction

Our customers are our top priority. By listening carefully to our customers, we can translate their needs and expectations into customized solutions that meet their needs (budget, delivery times, quality, products). The goal of lasting customer satisfaction can only be achieved if we offer products and services that fully meet the actual needs of our customers.

Compliance with legal requirements

It is our goal to deliver products that consistently meet customer needs and expectations. All products offered are subject to compliance with all necessary standards and national and international legal regulations.

Employees

Our employees are our greatest strength. Their sense of responsibility is constantly encouraged and trained as part of our system. One of our most important tasks is to further develop the skills and know-how of our employees. We want to achieve this by constantly improving our working environment and promote trainings. Through personal example, open communication and the involvement of employees in decision-making processes, the personal responsibility and quality awareness of employees is being challenged on a daily basis.

Economics

Centurius is a part of our own lives. We not only represent our own interests or those of our organizational unit, but act in the interests of the entire company. We see ourselves as a team and challenge, encourage and support each other. We reject a unilateral maximization of personal advantages to the detriment of common goals. We are jointly responsible for ensuring that the company is doing well economically. Our controlled and cost-optimized processes lead to an increase in our profitability and the successful improvement of our market position. For us, cooperation means taking pleasure in mutual success.

Management obligation

Our management ensures that the quality management system can achieve its intended results. Undesirable effects are prevented as far as possible or at least reduced to a minimum. Errors in the system are systematically examined with the aim of achieving continuous improvement in the management system.

Top management ensures that all legal and other requirements to which the company has committed are met. Management undertakes to plan targeted measures to deal with opportunities and risks. It initiates the necessary activities for integration into the management system and ensures that they are implemented. The planning includes the way of evaluating the effectiveness of these measures.

Process-oriented approach

Our quality management is essentially geared towards the design of the company's own processes. The orientation of the processes to customer requirements represents a decisive basis for a positive operating result. We promote the awareness of our employees to pursue process orientation.

Continuous Improvement

All organizational, commercial and technical processes are constantly checked with the aim of avoiding errors and increasing efficiency. In order to continue to meet the growing needs of the market in the future and to set ourselves apart from our competitors, we have to constantly optimize operational processes. Every employee is responsible for the quality of his work.
