Compliance
Our responsibility
Lina Schnellenberg
Compliance Manager
For us, compliance means: responsible conduct
Lawful and responsible conduct is one of the fundamental pillars KTR’s entrepreneurial success is based on. We proclaim the constitutional order and an economic system based on competition. Complying with law and order as well as ethical behaviour are part of our self-conception.
To reaffirm our self-conception, we undertook to adopt the ZVEI-VDMA Code of Conduct version 1/22.
We proclaim our social responsibility in accordance with its guidelines. The Code of Conduct provides a guiding framework for applying ethical standards such as honesty, integrity and law-abiding behaviour that is as binding for all employees of the company as for our suppliers. It is part and parcel of our corporate culture, thus forming the basis of the trust we are met with by customers, members, business partners and the public. We expect our suppliers to observe the principles defined therein as a basis of our business relations.
With the implementation of the VDMA/ZVEI Code of Conduct we set the highest ethical standards and create an environment of integrity and responsible business practices. These standards form the basis of our actions and are crucial for the sustainable success of our company.
