Compliance

A question of mindset

Compliance: A question of mindset

To us compliance is much more than just abiding by the law: compliance is a question of mindset. This includes our clear commitment that thyssenkrupp stands exclusively for fair and straight business. We would rather sacrifice a contract than win it by breaking the law.

What we stand for

One goal – one program

Compliance: One goal – one program

thyssenkrupp has a broad understanding of compliance: Compliance with the law and internal regulations is a must for us and part of our corporate culture. Compliance creates the framework for our business actions and serves to safeguard our long-term business success. We provide comprehensive support for the core compliance areas anticorruption, antitrust law, data protection, anti-money laundering, and trade compliance.

Our compliance program

Strong together

As well as the management and constant development of the compliance program, our Compliance function has the important role of acting as a strategic business partner to provide our group functions and businesses with advice on relevant strategic decisions at an early stage. This requires a needs-based and appropriately staffed organization with clearly allocated roles and responsibilities, effective and efficient steering, and in particular a task allocation which is structurally in line with the requirements of the thyssenkrupp group of companies.

Our compliance organization

We follow a strategy

Our compliance strategy is aimed at embedding a sustainable value culture at thyssenkrupp – a culture in which reliability, honesty, credibility, and integrity are the cornerstones of our actions.
