Our Group, Klöckner & Co, is aware of its role in society and its responsibility toward its business partners, shareholders and employees. We are therefore committed to clearly-defined principles, namely to value-oriented, ethical and law-abiding corporate management that forms the framework for our corporate and social activities at every level of the Company.
Our Code of Conduct consequently forms the core of our corporate culture. It is a statement of our basic ethical values and contains the fundamental principles and rules that we apply both throughout our entire Group and in our relationships with business partners and the public. Members of the Management Board and all supervisors have a special duty to act as role models in actively implementing this Code of Conduct.
Our unshakable core principle is that we want to set ourselves apart from our competitors through the quality of our products and services and not through corrupt practices, price-fixing or similar actions that will not be tolerated.
Our Code of Conduct encompasses six core areas:
- Basic rules of conduct
- Fair competition and antitrust law
- Conduct with business partners
- Conflicts of interest
- Communication and information
- Environmental sustainability, Occupational safety, ban on child labor
