Compliance

Today, compliance is more complex than ever before. There are ever-increasing legal challenges in a global environment. That’s why we are constantly adapting our processes and systems to the legal framework. To emphasize the significance of compliance for us, we have firmly anchored it into our corporate policy: “We comply with applicable laws and internal guidelines.” Compliance is therefore an active component of our corporate culture. We have a compliance management system in place that allows you as a customer, business partner, or company employee to act in accordance with uniform and binding structures.

It is important to identify potential misconduct at an early stage to ensure that we can live up to our corporate policy. One of the ways we are able to do this is by having any information about possible compliance violations reported to us.

A compliance violation exists if applicable law or internal policies are violated in Germany or abroad by our employees or vis-à-vis our employees in the performance of their duties. Such violations include corruption, competition and antitrust offenses, data privacy violations, as well as accounting, financial and tax offenses.

To detect compliance violations and be able to prevent them, we rely not only on our employees, but also on our customers and business partners.

Should you notice any sign of a compliance violation, you can report it through various channels.

Regardless of the method you choose to raise your concern, we assure you that every report will be handled in strict confidentiality – even anonymously if you so desire.

Compliance Officer

Please contact our Compliance Officer to raise serious concerns regarding compliance violations, or if you have questions on the topic of compliance in general.
