Ethical guidelines

Discrimination

We offer equal opportunities for employment regardless of race, religion, gender, age, disability, family circumstances or sexual orientation. We work to prevent any form of discrimination in the workplace or in the treatment of employees in terms of pay and career development. We strive to put in place appropriate processes to detect and address any case of discrimination. We have zero tolerance for any form of physical or verbal harassment in the workplace and will prosecute any occurrence thereof.

Work environment

We offer a good workplace and care about the health, well-being and development of our employees. This means that in terms of workplace design, equipment, behavior, job descriptions, skills development and in all other work environment-related issues, we work to ensure that our employees have a work environment and a work situation that prevents physical and mental illness and promotes well-being and development.

Environment

We shall contribute to sustainable development by taking environmental considerations into account in all our activities and by conserving natural resources. Operations must comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations. We will actively promote the environmental benefits of our products and services in our work with our customers and partners. We welcome all initiatives from employees, customers and partners to achieve this goal.

Intellectual property rights

We shall comply with and respect all applicable national laws and regulations as well as international conventions and treaties regarding the protection of intellectual property rights, such as patents, trademarks, designs and copyrights. This means that we shall always respect the intellectual property rights of others and thus produce and deliver our products and/or services without unauthorized exploitation or infringement of the protected rights or trade secrets of others.

Child labor

We do not tolerate child labor or the performance of work by force or threat of force. Children must not be economically exploited or engaged in work that is likely to be harmful or to interfere with the child's education or to jeopardize the child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social rights.

Bribery and corruption

We will contribute to a society where there is strong trust in business, entrepreneurship, the market economy and the rule of law. We shall therefore strive to promote a high level of ethics in commercial relations and shall therefore actively prevent bribes, kickbacks and other forms of corruption from affecting our business relations. In our operations, we prohibit all forms of bribery and corruption
