4 Code of Conduct


4.1 Conduct among each other
We are committed to respectful, courteous treatment of our employees. Discrimination, insults, discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated. It is important that we help and support each other, and that we keep agreed appointments with each other or, if necessary, actively inform each other if we are unable to do so.




4.2 Behaviour in the working environment
We ensure that safety standards are adhered to in order to prevent accidents at work or dangerous situations as far as possible. Should accidents or hazards nevertheless occur, they must be reported immediately. We also reduce the risk of endangering the health of our employees by ensuring that the use of prescribed protective work equipment and work clothing is mandatory.
We act according to the precautionary principle, proactively take initiatives to promote greater environmental awareness and encourage the development of environmentally friendly technologies. We always strive to ensure that all products along the entire value chain comply with environmental standards.

4.3 Conduct towards customers, suppliers and authorities
We always treat our business partners with responsibility and respect in order to be able to guarantee a trusting cooperation. We are aware of our responsibility in handling customer data and protect it from misuse. We select our suppliers with transparent procedures; cooperation and reliability are our top priorities. Information is treated confidentially and only obtained through legal channels.

4.4 Conduct in competition
We attach great importance to fair contract design and ethically and legally impeccable business conduct. Price or condition agreements are not permitted. Likewise, the exchange of information about customers, etc. with competitors is not tolerated. We act in accordance with our strategic goals and avoid conflicts of interest. Corruption and bribery are prohibited. Gifts or advantages that could influence the decision of the parties involved must not be accepted. Only in the context of long-standing business relationships is it permitted, as a matter of courtesy, to grant gifts that do not exceed the threshold value of EUR 35.


4.5 Conduct towards the company
Reliable, appropriate handling of entrusted assets of the company is of great importance to us. Every employee should be aware of this and behave appropriately so that damage to assets can be avoided at an early stage. Likewise, it is necessary that employees do not misuse information about business brands, acquired patents, industrial designs, licences, etc. for personal gain.
Since a lot of professional experience and internal information is gathered over the years, we require appropriate handling of internal know-how, which should serve to solve work tasks and not be carried to external persons.
