Transparent Corporate Governance.

Personal interaction.

Good governance is deeply rooted in our core DNA. The aim is to create a culture of effective and clear decision-making that is firmly integrated into everyday life.

This principle forms the basis for successful collaboration within the company and is the cornerstone of corporate ethics. Prudence and transparency, combined with decades of success, are key to our mindset.

Menschliches Miteinander

Our Corporate Guidelines.

Code of Conduct.

Our corporate reputation as well as the trust of our customers, suppliers, business partners, shareholders and the public depends largely on the continually sincere and responsible behaviour of all employees. Each employee undertakes to comply with legal and other mandatory regulations as well as this Code of Conduct.

Statutes.

The Articles of Association determine the purpose, capitalization and function of the corporate bodies and are approved by the Shareholders’ General Meeting. They were last revised at the Annual General Meeting on 25 April 2023.

The Board of Directors of Feintool.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of 5 members. At its first meeting after the General Meeting, it elects the Vice-President, the members of the Audit Committee, and designates the Secretary, who is not required to be a member of the Board of Directors.
