Sustainable Governance and Responsible Business Practices

Transparency is the Foundation of our Business

For us, sustainability, transparency and corporate success are inextricably linked. Integrating sustainability into our strategic and business processes is a key issue, as it contributes directly to the company’s success. With the inclusion of digital work and communication processes in the business world, the structured management of information and data is also growing in significance. This issue is particularly relevant for us as we handle sensitive corporate and personal data. It is extremely important that we keep this data safe.   

Trust is the top priority for our customers, the capital market, employees and all other key stakeholders. In order to gain trust and maintain it, we have made reliable and transparent corporate governance the foundation of our business. We adhere to laws, guidelines and regulations and manage our business responsibly and independently in line with the principles of good corporate governance. If we fail to meet the expectations of our stakeholders, this may lead to risks that could have negative impacts on our business (e.g., liability risks or potential administrative fines) and our reputation.   

Although the laws in the markets we serve in Germany, Austria and Sweden already offer a secure framework particularly in terms of labor and social standards – such as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act – human rights aspects are increasingly moving into the spotlight. This applies, for instance, to risks relating to compliance with labor and social standards on construction sites. We are taking it into account by carrying out a comprehensive risk analysis and publishing our first report on the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act.
