Our compliance approach
Our compliance approach combines several different facets. corruption, customs, foreign trade, risk management, code of conduct, investment policy, privacy policy, etc. Our compliance management system has been in place in this form since 2018. We are continuously working on it, updating it to reflect current issues. At the time of its creation, it includes the following elements:
- Our own code of conduct for Germany, USA, France, UK and China
- Investment guideline
- Privacy guidelines in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- IT security guidelines
- Travel risk management
- Customs/foreign trade guideline
Risk management is a significant part of business. The term refers to the identification, assessment and management of all risks that affect sustainable business performance, taking into account the complex reciprocal effects between individual risks and the resulting risk-mitigating measures.
To prevent all possible risks, the development of a comprehensive compliance training concept is planned for all employees. This is to be developed in collaboration with the management in order to provide our colleagues with a clear framework for action.
Further development and professionalisation
With the increasing regulation and internationalisation of our business, demands on our compliance management system also grow. We also need to consider the legal situation in other countries where we operate. We see this as an opportunity to extend and professionalise our approach.
In this regard, we plan to introduce a global, multilingual compliance organisation for all business units in the next few years. We also want to integrate other topics in the existing framework and develop our compliance management further. This includes the following activities:
Right from the start – conscious development:
- We analyse the life cycle of our products under consideration of ecological aspects.
- We exploit all opportunities to save material and use recyclable resources.
- We always endeavour to achieve the best possible ecological compatibility.
Less is more – eco-friendly production:
- We uphold the use of innovative heating, cooling and drive technology, as well as energy-efficient lighting and IT.
- Our cooling water is processed several times.
- We avoid waste wherever possible.
- We manufacture our products without harmful emissions.
