Compliance with the laws
Compliance with laws and regulations and abiding by legal obligations and prohibitions are, for us, an important basic principle of economically responsible activity.
Avoidance of conflicts of interest
It is a fundamental rule that all business decisions are taken solely in the interest of the company. Private and other interests are irrelevant in this context, and conflict therewith must be rigorously avoided.
Fair competition
The success of our company is based on long years of experience, professional competence and solid product quality. The selection of and dealings with our suppliers are based on the principle of non-discrimination.
Prohibition of bribery and corruption
We are committed to the EU Code of Conduct and categorically reject any form of bribery and corruption. Violations of this rule are not tolerated, and lead to sanctions against the party responsible.

The company does not involve itself in money laundering activities. All financial transactions are based on transparently traceable business processes. An investigation is launched in the event of any suspicion of financial illegality.

Day to day dealings with staff are governed by the principles of equal opportunities, mutual respect and mutual trust.
All members of staff are treated equally, regardless of gender, colour, age, religious affiliation, basic philosophy, ethnic origin or any disability.
