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.

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.
