Compliance

KSI Kältetechnik sees itself as a fair and competent company that wants to be a long-term and reliable partner to its customers. We align our actions with the highest ethical values, integrity and fairness, and we are committed to complying with all applicable laws, guidelines and market standards. For us, this is the basis on which we work together in a trusting manner with our private and business customers, institutional clients and partners.

Compliance at KSI Kältetechnik includes not only proper and lawful conduct across all business areas. Compliance is furthermore part of the corporate culture and thus forms the basis of our corporate responsibility.

General principles in the business environment 

Economic success and socially responsible action are not contradictory. For us, sustainable and responsible action is one of the most important foundations for respectful and cooperative collaboration with our business partners. We create added value for our customers, our employees and owners.

We are committed to conducting our business activities with integrity. In particular, we comply with applicable law in each case, e.g. anti-corruption, data protection, competition, anti-money laundering and environmental law.

At the same time, we are committed to ensuring that our business partners and subcontractors promote and adhere to our stated principles, so that we can act honestly, fairly and responsibly. We are aware of our social responsibility. We act entrepreneurially, with confidence, courage and performance orientation, with the aim of achieving the best result. Commitment and ability of each individual are the basis for this. Openness and mutual appreciation shape how we work together. We are reliable and honest, credible and act with integrity. Compliance is a matter of course for us.

HUMAN/ EMPLOYEE RIGHTS – We respect human rights and support their observance, tolerate no discrimination in the employment and hiring of staff, strictly reject child labour, and pay our employees appropriately. This corresponds at least to the respective national and local legal norms or standards.

In particular, we comply with the statutory regulations on minimum wage. The development of our employees is especially important to us. Health and safety in the workplace is our highest priority.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION – We comply with the environmental standards applicable to us and regard environmental protection as a corporate value. When constructing systems and developing services, we ensure that the resulting impact on the environment and climate is kept as low as possible and that our own products make a positive contribution to environmental and climate protection at our customers' premises. Every one of our employees bears the responsibility to conserve and carefully handle our natural resources and to contribute to the protection of the environment and climate through their individual and prudent behaviour.

DONATIONS / SPONSORSHIP – We see ourselves as an active member of society and are therefore committed in various ways. We make donations and other forms of social engagement solely in the interest of the company. We do not make any financial contributions, in particular donations and sponsorship measures, to political parties at home or abroad, party-affiliated or party-like organisations, individual officeholders or candidates for political office.

REPORTING OBLIGATION – All our employees ensure that internal and external reports, records and other documents of our company comply with the applicable legal rules and standards and are therefore always complete and accurate.

IMPLEMENTATION – Our managers fulfil a special role model function. Our principles are measured in their actions to a particular degree. They are the first point of contact for questions regarding the understanding of the rules and ensure that all employees know and understand our principles. Within the scope of their daily tasks, they prevent unacceptable behaviour and take appropriate measures to prevent rule violations in their area of responsibility. Trusting and good cooperation between employees and managers is reflected in honest and open information and mutual support.
