Compliance

• I comply with all laws and regulations that are relevant for my area of responsibility. If I am unsure about anything, I contact my line manager or the Legal Department.
• If I discover a serious violation of laws or in-house guidelines, I report it immediately.

• I avoid conflicts of interest and separate private and business interests.
• I am not open to bribery. I only accept gifts or invitations if they comply with in-house guidelines and do not influence my decisions.

• Where possible, I help conserve natural resources and reduce my energy consumption by adhering to sustainability and environmental standards, promoting innovative solutions and raising awareness of social and environmental issues when appropriate.
