Compliance
Compliance is a question of attitude. There is no alternative to this.
Compliance is the guiding principle for legally compliant behavior, making it a competitive advantage. We are aware of this special role and responsibility.
Code of Conduct
Compliance and ethics are important to us because we want to work to the highest standards in terms of integrity, honesty, and appropriate conduct. This is why we have drawn up a Group-wide Code of Conduct for our employees, which contains the following principles.
As a company, we are committed to complying with the applicable laws and regulations.
We conduct our business in a fair and legal manner.
We unreservedly reject corrupt acts, including the acceptance of favors and bribery.
We embrace social responsibility.
It is important to us to give something back to society and to support the communities in which we operate.
We make our business decisions objectively and in the best interests of the company.
We do not participate in practices that are contrary to, restrict, or distort fair competition.
We treat corporate values carefully and responsibly, and ensure that corporate values and confidential information are protected.
We respect and protect internationally agreed human rights.
We are committed to safety. It is a matter of great importance to us that every single employee work in a safe and healthy environment, regardless of where we are in the world.
Creating a working culture in which everyone feels equally heard and included.
The diversity and uniqueness of our employees are the driving force behind our company’s performance and innovative strength.
We promote diversity and combat all forms of discrimination.
We want to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer.
Environmental protection and sustainability are therefore particularly important to us.
