The company is committed to respect and fairness in all business relationships and expects employees to create an environment in which all voices are heard and valued. Discrimination and unfair treatment are not tolerated. Compliance with the law is a fundamental part of business ethics and all employees must strictly adhere to the relevant legal requirements.

We only collect the data necessary for our business activities and ensure that it is collected in a lawful, fair and transparent manner. The data is stored securely and is only accessible to those employees who need it for their work. Taking into account statutory retention periods, data is not stored for longer than necessary. Data will only be passed on to third parties with the express consent of the person concerned or the company, unless this is required by law or necessary for our business activities. To ensure data security, we use technical and organisational measures such as firewalls, encryption and access controls. Individuals and companies whose data we process have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing and data portability. Through these measures, we ensure that data protection has the highest priority in our company and that the rights of the persons and companies concerned are safeguarded.

Corruption includes acts such as bribery, extortion, fraud and embezzlement aimed at obtaining personal or unlawful advantages. Without exception, no attempts at bribery of any kind are offered, promised, given or accepted in our company. This includes money, valuable gifts in kind, services, loans, fees, rewards or other benefits. Gifts and hospitality are only permitted if they are appropriate and comply with the law and company guidelines. They may not be used to exert influence or for consideration. Our employees are obliged to report possible corrupt behaviour immediately. We guarantee confidentiality and rule out any retaliation against the person making the report.

Diversity, equality and inclusion are key elements in creating an innovative and adaptable working environment. Diversity includes not only physical differences, but also differences in thoughts, experiences, skills and perspectives. By recognising and valuing these differences, we can better identify with our customers and understand their needs. Equality means that all employees have the same opportunities regardless of their personal characteristics, which includes fair recruitment practices, equal pay for equal work and the provision of resources and opportunities for all employees. It is important to actively combat discrimination and prejudice. Inclusion means creating an environment where all people feel respected and valued, ensuring that all voices are heard and that all employees can fully utilise their skills and talents. This fosters collaboration and team spirit by creating an atmosphere of openness and respect. By integrating these principles, companies can not only increase their innovative strength, but also promote a harmonious and productive working environment.

We are committed to offering all employees fair pay based on qualifications, experience, performance and the nature of the work and conduct regular salary reviews to remain competitive. Transparency in our remuneration structures strengthens the trust and commitment of our employees. We adhere to legal regulations on working hours, breaks and rest periods, pay overtime appropriately and offer flexible working time models as well as working from home. Our workplaces are safe and free from health risks, supported by regular training and protective equipment. We promote an inclusive working environment without discrimination and strictly reject child and forced labour. Through these measures, we ensure fair working conditions and the protection of human rights.
