What compliance means to us

Our compliance system supports us in anchoring ethical and legal standards in all areas of our activities. It provides guidance, promotes transparency, and helps us identify risks early on — for sustainable success and a working environment characterized by trust.

This is how we secure the basis for long-term partnerships –
Hand in hand for tomorrow.

Clarity through training and dialog

To ensure that integrity and fairness remain a matter of course in everyday life, we promote knowledge and awareness through a comprehensive training program.
Our employees learn to assess situations correctly and to act with courage – be it in their interactions with colleagues, business partners or suppliers.

Our core compliance trainings include:

  • Compliance at the workplace:

Provides security in day-to-day operations and helps to identify risks at an early stage. The Code of Conduct is part of this training and defines binding rules of conduct and key topics (integrity, anti-corruption, fair competition, human rights, environment, data protection) as a basis for practical application and reporting channels.

  • Human rights

raises awareness of fair working conditions and respect for human dignity along our value chain.

Acting responsibly across the supply chain

As a family-owned company operating internationally, we understand: integrity doesn't stop at the factory gate.
We pay attention to fair, safe, and sustainable conditions throughout our supply chain.
Together with our partners, we focus on prevention, transparency and continuous exchange – in the spirit of the German Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetzes Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains (LkSG).
Our policy statement on due diligence can be found in the documents section at the bottom of the page.
