At Kontron, Compliance is far more than mere adherence to laws, regulations, and internal policies; it is a core element of our corporate identity, deeply ingrained in our values and philosophy. It establishes a robust framework that not only ensures the early detection of potential risks but also actively prevents violations, safeguarding the integrity of our operations.

Our commitment to Compliance transcends legal obligations, reflecting our dedication to integrity, accountability, and ethical principles. By embedding these values into every aspect of our business, we not only protect our company and its brands but also foster trust among our employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, and investors. Adhering to the highest standards of both legal and ethical conduct, Kontron maintains the integrity of the Group in all its endeavors.

Compliance serves as a cornerstone of our Corporate Governance, rooted in integrity and mutual respect. This commitment is embodied in Kontron's Corporate Guidelines, Code of Conduct, and Supplier Code of Conduct, which collectively outline our rigorous expectations for ethical behavior and responsible business practices.

Our Code of Conduct is a foundational element of our corporate culture, setting forth stringent standards for legal compliance, the protection of human rights, anti-corruption efforts, fair competition, and the avoidance of conflicts of interest. These principles are naturally upheld by employees in their day-to-day activities, ensuring that ethical behavior is an integral part of our working environment.

Our expectations extend equally to suppliers and business partners. The Supplier Code of Conduct delineates exacting requirements for ethical and responsible conduct, and partners are expected to comply fully. They are responsible for implementing and maintaining robust measures to ensure ongoing Compliance, ensuring that our business relationships are founded on transparency, reliability, and shared ethical values. This commitment not only strengthens Kontron’s partnerships but also supports the sustainable, long-term success of the business.

The Code of Conduct, available in multiple languages, and the Supplier Code of Conduct can be downloaded from the Compliance Downloads section.
