Our actions are guided by integrity. This extends to dealing with our customers and suppliers, employers, shareholders and the public.
Both our strategic considerations and our day-today business must always be based on high ethical and legal standards. Honesty, sincerity and fairness are attributes of our internal communication as well as our dealings with our partners and public. As our target is sustainable growth the company is not interested only in the results, but also in how these results are achieved. We never tolerate illegal or unfair practices or discriminating behavior to reach our goals.
Our Compliance Guidelines contain binding rules which apply to all of us equally. They oblige us to act accordingly, and to refrain from everything that contradicts these rules
