Ethics & Compliance
Our Principles
We are a family-run company with heart, roots, and character – at home in the food world for generations. What drives us? The combination of traditional craftsmanship, a genuine connection to nature, and smart innovations. Whether it’s fruit, dairy products, plant-based alternatives, or classics like our fruit spreads: we develop our products with care, taste, and a clear focus on sustainability. We take responsibility not only for what we do – but also for how we do it. For us, compliance means not just following rules, but the lived commitment to implementing our values every single day:
Responsible
Appreciative
Independent
Collaborative
Entrepreneurial
Simple and Pragmatic
This attitude shapes our corporate culture – it is the foundation for long-term success and mutual trust. For us, compliance is not a foreign body, but part of our self-image. Together, we bring it to life – with clear principles, open eyes, and the willingness to get a little better every day.
Our Understanding of Compliance
Acting responsibly and with integrity forms a central basis of our corporate identity. As a food manufacturer, we bear a special responsibility toward employees, consumers, customers, other stakeholders, and society. For us, compliance is much more than a set of rules – it is an expression of our attitude: We want to act fairly, safely, and credibly – for our employees, our partners, and for a sustainable future.
“Responsible action, quality, and integrity are not a duty for us, but part of our DNA – only in this way can we create trust among customers, partners, and employees. We understand compliance as a living process that we actively shape and continuously develop together.”

Our Compliance & Ethics Program
Our Compliance Management System (CMS) is firmly anchored in the corporate organization and is managed by the Legal & Compliance department. This department works closely with all relevant specialist areas to effectively implement compliance in everyday operations. The CMS follows recognized standards such as IDW PS 980 and ISO 37301 and is tailored to the requirements of a medium-sized food manufacturer.
The central fields of action include promoting a culture of integrity, clear compliance goals, regular risk analysis, the continuous development of relevant guidelines, regular training, and transparent reporting and communication channels. In this way, we create an environment in which responsible behavior is a matter of course and risks are identified at an early stage.
“Integrity guides our actions. Our Ethics and Compliance Program limits liability and reputational risks, strengthens our company, and provides our employees with security – clearly formulated, reliably applied, and pragmatically implemented.”
Our Code of Conduct
Values, Orientation, Trust –
Responsibility begins with every individual.
Whether it is fair treatment, compliance with the law, or the protection of the environment and data – our Code of Conduct makes it clear what we expect from each other and what we stand for as a company. It defines the ethical and legal standards that are binding for all employees – across all areas and functions.
A code that provides orientation – and a promise that we fulfill every day.
Take a look – and get to know the values that shape our cooperation.
Our Speak Up Culture
Our reporting system – help us to act in accordance with the rules. Together for a strong corporate culture.
At Andros, honesty, responsibility, transparency, and integrity are at the heart of our actions. Violations of the law or breaches of regulations can not only cause financial damage but also jeopardize the trust of our employees, business partners, and the public. That is why it is important to us to identify misconduct early and react appropriately.
As one option, you can use our whistleblowing system to quickly and easily report concerns about misconduct that affects our company or the well-being of employees and third parties.
Our Expectations of Our Suppliers
Our Supplier Code of Conduct – living responsibility together.
Sustainability, fairness, and integrity do not end at our factory gate – they often begin much earlier. With our Supplier Code of Conduct, we make it clear which values and standards apply to a collaboration with us.
We expect all our suppliers and partners to share these principles and implement them within their own sphere of influence. Because only together can we take responsibility along the entire supply chain – for people, the environment, and fair cooperation.
