1. Code of ConductAs a leading global steel and technology Group with a combination of materials and processing expertise, voestalpine takes on its customers’ challenges and is mindful of its special responsibility toward its customers, suppliers, and other business partners, as well as its employees and shareholders. In all business activities and decisions, management and employees must therefore comply with all statutory and other external regulations as well as all internal guidelines applicable to voestalpine AG and its Group companies. The voestalpine Group’s understanding of compliance goes beyond these requirements.
Employees are expected to conduct themselves in keeping with the Group’s values and the general fundamental values of human behavior. This understanding is documented in the voestalpine AG
Code of Conduct, which provides the basis for morally, ethically, and legally sound conduct for all Group employees. The Management Board is expressly and emphatically committed to this Code.
The voestalpine Compliance Management System is based on the pillars of risk analysis/prevention, detection, and processing/reaction. Regarding the first pillar, the compliance organization attaches great importance to familiarizing employees with the external and internal Code of Conduct. Internal training programs include a wide variety of e-learning courses as well as classroom training aimed at target groups and general compliance training.
