The ethical guidelines oblige us to run our business responsibly, ethically and in line with laws and regulations.
The ethical guidelines are the basis for how we conduct business and tell ourselves and the world around what can be expected of us. They describe basic obligations and requirements for how we should behave, give us guidance when we are faced with ethical dilemmas and help us make good decisions.
