Our long-term corporate success is based on respectful and helpful cooperation and an awareness of our social responsibility.

This has been the tradition at WALO for more than 100 years. The essential principles and basic rules governing our actions and our conduct towards business partners and the public have been summarised in WALO’s Corporate Global Guidelines (Code of Conduct).

This Code of Conduct offers guidelines to employees, managers and the management board on the following topics:

• • Compliance with laws and regulations
• • Avoidance of conflicts of interests
• • Fair competition
• • Equal treatment and non-discrimination
• • Environmental protection, health and safety at the workplace
• • Conduct and communication in public
• • Data protection and information security
• • Protection of company property

The objective of these Global Guidelines is to make WALO employees more aware of the applicable legal provisions and to oblige them to comply with the ethical standards and principles summarised in the Code. This is how to ensure the safety of themselves, the company and their partners.
