Acting the right way

Compliance goes far beyond acting in accordance with legal principles. It is an expression of a culture of tolerance and integrity in interpersonal interaction.

AustroCel stands for acting according to ethical principles. This applies to the interactions of managers and employees within the company as well as to the contact with customers, business partners and authorities.

Lawful and ethical conduct is an integral part of our business activities. The integrity of each individual is indispensable and a central prerequisite for sustainable business success. Compliance is implemented by a clear commitment to conduct with integrity by the management as well as the lived responsibility of all employees.
AustroCel stands for sustainability and rejects any form of misconduct. Violations of applicable law or internal regulations are not accepted. Any form of corruption, cartelisation, discrimination or other economic crime by employees is strictly rejected.

This attitude is expressed through a set of internal guidelines that serve as orientation. Our Code of Conduct conveys the most important principles and expectations for acting lawfully, with integrity and in a sustainable manner at AustroCel. Furthermore our Code of Conduct for Suppliers sets out our expectations of companies that want to do business with us.
