JUNG has successfully passed the SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit and received the SMETA certification. The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) certifies that JUNG acts in an ethical way. JUNG takes a pioneering role in the packaging industry and is the only manufacturer of high-quality gift wrapping papers and tissue papers with this demanding certification.

„Our family-owned company sets itself high standards not only in terms of product quality and innovative strength, but also in dealing with customers, business partners and employees. The SMETA certification is a confirmation of our philosophy in our daily dealings with people. We attach great importance to integrity, honesty, ethically impeccable and fair conduct as well as compliance with applicable laws,“ explains Claus Jung, who as shareholder and managing director runs the company together with his siblings Ellen, Uli and Stephan Jung. „With the JUNG - Ethics Policy, we explicitly acknowledge our responsibility towards our business and social environment.“

SMETA is a globally recognized audit developed by the British non-profit organization Sedex Associate Auditor Group. It helps organizations minimize risks by promoting transparency throughout the supply chain. Well-known companies in the luxury goods industry, which are part of JUNG's customer base, rely on this audit in cooperation with their business partners. An impartial auditor from SGS intensively inspected JUNG's production during walk-throughs in all areas and also verified compliance with guidelines under the law and the ETI Basic Code through individual and group employee interviews. The comprehensive audit assesses company production sites and value chains according to national laws and the ethical ETI code, and confirms that JUNG is acting according to the right processes and adhering to best practice guidelines for ethical trade in line with the needs of its customers.

In the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), companies have joined forces with their customers, trade unions, international human rights and development organizations to promote working conditions, employee and human rights. Certification is carried out in accordance with the initiative's clearly defined ethical guidelines. The focus is on topics such as labor guidelines, health and safety. A further audit pillar covers the topics of the environment and business practices.

We are proud to have received the silver medal from EcoVadis in the 2022 reassessment. Our overall score is among the best for companies in the packaging industry. This puts us in a leading position in terms of sustainable business practices and solutions in the production of wrapping papers and tissue papers.

EcoVadis is the most trusted independent provider of corporate sustainability ratings, with over 90,000 rated companies in its network. Considering its standing and reputation with suppliers and customers, a Silver rating is a great achievement for us. The EcoVadis methodology is based on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact and ISO2600. It covers 200 industries and more than 160 countries.

The EcoVadis rating highlights a particularly strong performance by JUNG in the areas of environment, sustainable procurement and ethics. The rating reflects the ambition we demonstrate as part of our sustainability agenda. For us, the EcoVadis rating is an important reference point to further expand our commitment to sustainability.

The silver medal is a testament to the effort and focus we have put into building a leading role in sustainable business practices in the packaging industry. We are proud of what we have achieved - while striving for ever greater sustainability in our operations and with our upstream and downstream partners in the value chain.
