In all countries in which we are active, we comply with the applicable laws and regulations as the legal basis of our business activity. Heidelberg Materials' globalization process – characterized by rapid growth and geographical expansion – has required the integration of many different cultures. Being successful as one Group requires the sharing of common values. In our Corporate Mission, the company’s culture and our fundamental values are laid down in general.
Our company’s ambition for operational excellence and a prime position among the best in our industry needs a solid foundation of commitment to lawful and ethical conduct. Therefore, the Code of Business Conduct describes our values of high ethical and legal standards for all our business activities from strategic planning to day-to-day procedures in all countries in which we operate.
Consequently, ethical and compliant behaviour of our employees as stipulated in our Code of Business Conduct is assessed and documented as part of our annual performance review system.
Moreover, Heidelberg Materials commits to its responsibility to respect human rights.
