Compliance and Integrity
Compliance and integrity are integral parts of our corporate culture. Every day, we operate in keeping with the law, our values and internal company guidelines.
Code of Conduct
To comply with the law and our values that form the basis for the success of GEFERTEC, as part of the B.I.G. company group we have created the B.I.G. Code of Conduct and the Supplier Code of Conduct erstellt.
Anti-corruption
GEFERTEC does not tolerate corruption from employees or business partners. GEFERTEC conducts its business only according to applicable laws and acts with integrity in the competitive environment. GEFERTEC commits itself and its employees to comply with national and international laws and legal regulations (German Criminal Code, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, UK Bribery Act). The fight against corruption is of particular importance as corruption can have far-reaching consequences for GEFERTEC and the individuals involved. Failure to follow anti-corruption laws destroys trust in colleagues and business partners and leads to civil and criminal penalties. GEFERTEC refrains from entering into a business transaction before it violates applicable law or the company’s principles.
Whistleblower system
Compliance with applicable laws and internal company guidelines as well as the resulting fair and ethical behavior have the highest priority at GEFERTEC and B.I.G. Therefore, we are introducing a whistleblower system to enable the reporting of complaints, criminal behavior, specific threats, or suspicious cases in the company and to protect whistleblowers and affected people. The whistleblower system is an integral part of the Compliance Management System (CMS). The whistleblower has two options to report misconduct effectively and securely.
