Basis for responsible conduct and cooperative partnership
Responsible, ethical and sustainable conduct is an integral part of our identity. People, respect for ethical principles and protection of the environment are at the heart of our business activities. We are committed to complying with all applicable laws, guidelines and social norms, and we expect the same from our employees and business partners.
Our Code of Conduct defines the fundamental principles and behaviours that are binding for our company. At the same time, it forms the basis for trusting and cooperative partnerships with external partners. Integrity, fairness, transparency and lawful behaviour are central values in this regard.
The Code of Conduct focuses in particular on the following three areas:
- Social responsibility, human rights and labour rights
- Business ethics
- Environmental protection
As a binding guide, the Code of Conduct supports our employees in their day-to-day work and our business partners in our joint activities. It helps us to assess legal and ethical issues responsibly and to act accordingly.
