Compliance
Lawful conduct compliant with rules
Compliance is part of an enterprise's due diligence. Our code of conduct, reflecting international standards, constitutes the basis for EQOS Group compliance.
The significance of compliance for any company can be compared with the requirement for fitters to wear personal protective equipment (PPE): Only if all fitters on the team use the PPE according to regulations, can they work reliably Reliable work means protecting oneself, one’s colleagues and therefore, ultimately, the company. While protective equipment is designed to prevent and mitigate hazards on the job site, it is the responsibility of compliance to protect the company as a whole from misconduct of any kind.
EQOS takes the topic of compliance very seriously and attaches great importance to it. Integrity, honesty, law-abiding conduct, and respect for our fellow human beings and the environment form the basis of our entrepreneurial behaviour. Compliance, together with our Code of Conduct, forms the framework within which we act. We hold legally and ethically flawless conduct of both our employees and our business partners to be of the greatest importance to us. We are aware of our role in society as well as our responsibility to our customers, employees, owners and business partners. The successful certification of our compliance management system in accordance with international and industry-independent standards shows that we also fulfil our high quality standards in this area.

Maintaining integrity
We adhere to generally recognised principles of corporate governance and conduct our business with a commitment to integrity. We design our business processes to be transparent. We avoid any situations that could lead to conflicts of interest. We do not take part in criminal acts nor do we condone them.
Safeguarding fair competition
We stand for fair competition and our quality and performance allow us to prevail. What counts for us is providing excellent quality to the customer to give them the best solution. Furthermore, we ensure that subcontractors and other business partners also meet our requirements in terms of integrity.
Assuming responsibility for people and the environment
We are convinced that entrepreneurial success is built upon a value-based corporate culture. We believe that corporate success cannot be measured simply in numbers. Responsible interaction with employees, business partners, society and the environment is every bit as important as success determined by numbers.
Protecting assets and information
We are handling our assets and the company’s intellectual property responsibly, because maintaining our position in the market and preserving our ability to be competitive depends on these assets. We strictly adhere to data privacy regulations. Trade secrets are safeguarded.
