Compliance with applicable laws, responsible conduct, and ethical behavior among ourselves and toward our business partners are our top priorities. To ensure this, we have established a global compliance management system.
The Pillars of Our Compliance-Management-System
Tone from the Top
The issue of compliance starts at the very top. Our executive management not only sets a good example, but also addresses our employees directly with its “tone from the top.” Compliance means for us that we all live these values and act accordingly.
Compliance-Organization
With our compliance-organization, we ensure that compliance managers and delegates with the appropriate expertise are deployed throughout the Group with our compliance-organization. They are local contact points and support our employees to always behave correctly, even in difficult situations. In addition, they ensure the monitoring of internal company processes, train employees, and initiate the continuous development of our organization.
Guidelines
The Brückner Group’s Code of Conduct provides guidance for our behavior. It is at the heart of our corporate culture and serves as our internal compass. Our Code of Conduct is specified in a series of additional internal guidelines, which we have used to set ourselves clear standards. Further Information and the Code of Conduct itself is available for download below.
Trainings
Only those who understand the background can recognize all the pitfalls and can act accordingly. It is therefore important to us to educate our employees and always keep them alert of compliance risks. For this reason, we regularly train all Brückner Group employees, whether on-site, digitally, or via e-learning courses designed specifically for the Brückner Group.
Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct provides guidance for our behavior and reflects our commitment to social responsibility. The foundation of our success is the people who work together within the Brückner Group. We regard all individuals as equals and treat them with respect. To uphold these values, we respect and promote human rights as well as social and labor standards. Information about our guidelines and the Code of Conduct is available for download below.
Whistleblower System
Violations of applicable law, the Code of Conduct, or other binding requirements can be reported securely and, if desired, completely anonymously via our global whistleblower system.
