We endeavor to consistently implement responsible corporate governance – taking into account both the expected returns of our shareholders and the long-term development of the Group. This represents a clear value structure in our global Group and supports our future outlook.
Consistent observance of the applicable legal regulations as well as consideration of the values and principles of the Group’s own Code of Conduct, which we developed together with employees, form the basis of corporate action which is equally accepted by employees, customers and society.
Respect for human dignity, zero tolerance for child labor or forced labor, a diligent approach to employees and business partners, a firm rejection of corruption and bribery as well as fair market development and the protection of intellectual property are firmly anchored in all processes and will also be strictly observed with the implementation of our strategy 2020.
