We are committed to the basic values of integrity, transparency and responsibility in business dealings and therefore want to ensure compliance with all applicable national and international legislation. The reputation of our company and the trust of our suppliers and customers and consequently also the existence of our company depends very much on the conduct of each individual employee.

As a common policy, the code of conduct contains binding minimum standards that apply to every Klingele employee, representative and partner. Compliance with laws and internal regulations is a matter of course in our business activities. This way, we contribute to securing and strengthening the long-term competitiveness and successful positioning of Klingele.

The Klingele shareholders and management expect every employee to act within the law. This code of conduct aims to raise awareness of legal risks and help to avoid violations of the law.
