Compliance:
Legal integrity and
Responsibility
Pillars of our corporate culture
Compliance as a cornerstone of trust
We define compliance as compliance with applicable laws, standards, internal company guidelines and codes of conduct. Compliance is therefore the legal, social and ethical framework for entrepreneurial,
value-oriented action.
This is an integral part of our corporate culture and forms the basis for trust,
that we show to business partners and the public.
Sustainability and responsibility
“Sustainable, responsible and value-oriented action is the cornerstone of our family business.”
Oliver Hofmann
“The management asks itself, to each and every employee every business partner has high expectations.”
Global action and compliance
Our measures for responsibility and legal compliance
As a widely operating company, our business activities have a global impact on people and the environment. The internationalization of economic activity and the multitude and complexity of legal regulations increase the risk of legal violations. To avoid this, we have created an effective compliance management, complaint management and whistleblower system as well as internal company guidelines.
Transparency and reporting of misconduct
Our channels for violations and complaints
The following channels are available to all employees, business partners and other stakeholders from around the world to report possible violations of human rights and environmental regulations, laws and other serious misconduct, anonymously if requested. The complaints are handled confidentially, impartially and carefully by the specially created organization in accordance with the established rules of procedure.
