Compliance: What is important to us
As a mechanical engineering company, Dr. Heinrich Schneider Messtechnik GmbH is committed to aligning its business practices with clear principles. These include respect for human rights and the prohibition of discrimination, integrity, honesty and respect for human dignity, as well as the responsible use of our environmental resources. In doing so, we take economic foresight and social responsibility into account.
Our company history and our ties to the Bad Kreuznach location shape the way we conduct our business. We take these foundations into account when designing our processes and making business decisions.
We are convinced that a sound compliance culture is essential both for complying with legal requirements and for implementing voluntary measures as part of our corporate social responsibility. We therefore understand compliance not only as a legal obligation, but also as a matter of attitude and a fundamental principle underlying our economic, social, ethical and environmental conduct.
Our values of openness, discipline, trust, responsibility and leading by example provide a reliable framework for our actions. They are intended to support us in developing common principles, implementing them in our daily work and continuously improving them.
Code of Conduct for Employees
The Code of Conduct for employees summarises the key principles of lawful and ethical business conduct. It supplements our compliance rules and provides guidance for everyday work.
The Code of Conduct is based on our values of openness, discipline, trust, responsibility and leading by example. Among other things, it describes our expectations regarding integrity, respect for human rights, the protection of trade secrets, and compliance with legal requirements and internal rules.
We communicate the content relevant to our employees through web-based training and supplementary printed information.
Code of Conduct for Business Partners
We have encouraged our business partners to uphold our compliance guidelines, also within the framework of our general purchasing and business terms and conditions, in order to jointly assume corporate responsibility.
