Our principle of "Respect and Results" guides both our corporation as a whole and each of our employees in every action they take. We respect people and the environment in which we live. We measure the success of our actions, and we report our results in a transparent manner to create the basis for an open dialog with all interest groups. Our corporate Code of Conduct outlines binding rules and shows our respect for global standards regarding human rights, core work standards, environmental protection and the fight against corruption.
"Living responsibility" is the motto of our Corporate Responsibility strategy - we strive to contribute to a more positive future.
