Compliance & Integrity
Integrity as well as statutory and compliant behavior are the foundation of our business operations and are of highest priority within our company and the entire Würth Group. They form the basis for determining the value of the company, for gaining the valued trust of all customers and business partners, for the well-being of its employees as well as for sustainable economic success away from any possible risks.
Code of Compliance
Group-wide applicable Code of Compliance
Mutual trust, predictability, honesty and straightforwardness in respect of internal and external relations are the basic principles which are firmly established in Würth Group. A corporate culture of a special kind - based of fundamental values such as appreciation of all employees and their performances as well as immense commitment to the customers. Prof. Dr. h. c. mult. Reinhold Würth laid the foundation of family business with this approach.
Act with conviction – act for a good future.
We believe: Success is permanent only when one acts in a responsible manner consistently. For us, that not only means to comply with the laws, but also to align personal behaviour with common values. For us, integrity means to act according to ethical principles such as mutual respect, honesty, esteem, sense of responsibility, reliability and fairness. Thus, we not only have to meet the expectations, adhere to the applicable laws as well as company rules and regulations but also practice our company values. These should be supported by all employees as well as by our business partners and should be embodied continuously with full conviction true to the motto “Set an example of the compliance internally and externally".
Our principles
Code of Conduct
Our principles are firmly established in the Code of Conduct. It provides orientation, advise and support for compliant behavior in workplace, as part of the company and as business partner. Together, we assume the responsibility e.g. for fair and social working conditions and for the environment by obliging to comply with applicable laws and regulations and the Code of Conduct.
SpeakUp – Group-wide reporting system
Compliance of laws, rules and internal instructions is of highest priority for our company. Misconduct should therefore be identified in time and should be prevented without delay by taking specific measures. The effectiveness of the measures taken is to be assessed regularly. This requires everyone’s attention as well as willingness to report violations or serious non-compliance with concrete evidence. We also attach great importance to relevant reports from customers, business partners and third-parties. We have therefore set up a system which enables to communicate the indications of criminal activities or serious violations of our Code of Compliance or Code of Conduct. This is web-based BKMS System (Business Keeper Monitoring System), which is technical platform of our Reporting Hotline SpeakUp.
