//Compliance & Environment
With a view to our
common future
For GOD, the goals of economic success and social responsibility cannot be separated. Responsible and ethical behaviour towards employees, business partners, society and the environment are an integral part of GOD's value system. Compliance with the law in our business activities is a matter of course. The following compliance guidelines are based on these principles as binding content of our business policy.
Compliance guideline
- We comply with applicable law at local, national and international level.
- Equal opportunities: We do not tolerate discrimination against any person.
- We respect and uphold internationally recognised human rights and support their observance.
- Occupational safety and health protection are a central component of our company.
- We comply with applicable laws and rules when collecting, storing, processing or transferring personal data and information. When collecting, storing, processing or transferring personal data (e.g. name, address, telephone number, date of birth) from employees, customers and third parties, we take the utmost care and maintain strict confidentiality. We are supported in this by our data protection officer and the data protection coordinator.
- We take equal account of ecological, economic and social goals in our entrepreneurial activities.
- We take all necessary measures to avoid conflicts of interest arising between clients and GOD, clients and individual employees, and between individual areas, or to resolve them where they should arise.
- GOD examines all offers from its business partners, suppliers and service providers in a fair and unbiased manner and commissions them after evaluating defined decision-making specifications such as suitability criteria and qualifications.
- GOD does not tolerate any form of corruption or bribery.
- We see ourselves as an active member of society and therefore get involved in the most diverse ways. Donations must always be documented in a comprehensible and transparent manner, i.e. the recipient and use must be known and the reason and purpose of the donation must be legally justifiable. Payments to private accounts are not permitted.
- Fair competition is very important to us. We consistently reject relationships and agreements with competitors, suppliers, distributors and dealers that impair fair competition.
