Compliance

wenglor’s excellent reputation with customers, employees and the general public, as well as the quality of its products and services, obliges the company to comply with clear values and ethical principles. These are manifested in the wenglor sensoric group Code of Conduct and in the Supplier Code of Conduct.

Code of Conduct

The wenglor group has been growing continuously for years as an owner-managed, mid-sized family business and, thanks to its innovative products, enjoys an excellent worldwide reputation amongst customers, business partners and the public, as well as its own employees. Maintaining this reputation is one of the company’s central concerns. The brand name and its key statement, “wenglor – the innovative family”, already embody important aspects with regard to thought and action. In addition to economic factors, this is also heavily characterized by socially and ethically justifiable and legally compliant maxims.

With this Code of Conduct, the wenglor sensoric group commits itself to the principles and rules described below, which permit economically and socially fair coexistence. In this regard, attention is focused on key issues within our modern society such as social responsibility, fairness, corruption, data protection and occupational safety. The Code of Conduct is a binding guideline for all wenglor employees. Violations of the code will not be tolerated and will be consistently investigated and punished within the scope of applicable legislation.

For reasons of easier readability, gender-neutral differentiation is dispensed with in the context of these rules (for example his/her/their). Corresponding expressions apply in the spirit of equal treatment of all genders.

Compliance Whistleblower System

Each and every employee is required to comply with the wenglor Code of Conduct. Misconduct and violations of the Code of Conduct and applicable legal regulations will not be tolerated. The wenglor sensoric group follows up on all information and takes remedial action where necessary. The principle of appropriateness shall be observed with regard to the implementation of any required measures. Examination will thus be conducted in each individual case in order to determine which consequences are appropriate, suitable and required. Depending on the respective degree of misconduct, culpable violations of the law can thus result in labor law sanctions, right on up to termination of the employment relationship (see also section 2.1, “Responsibility of wenglor Employees”).
wenglor places great importance on an honest and open communication culture. Employees can therefore report violations of wenglor’s Code of Conduct, criminal offenses, grievances and risks to their supervisors confidentially and directly.
In addition, employees and external whistleblowers have the option of using the wenglor Compliance Whistleblower System. This secure channel can be used to report violations of the Code of Conduct or reports of grievances without whistleblowers, acting to the best of their knowledge, having to fear negative consequences.
