Compliance

We conduct our business responsibly and in compliance with the laws and regulations of all the countries where we do business.

Siemens does not tolerate illegal and unethical behaviour. We have established binding company guidelines that require all our employees worldwide to behave ethically and in conformity with the law. These guidelines are the basis of our work and the relationships of our employees with one another as well as with our customers and partners.

Compliance Programme

Siemens' Compliance Programme anchors ethical and legal behaviour throughout the company. It includes clear instructions to all employees to comply with all applicable laws. It also contains additional regulations regarding specific areas including, the processing of payments and proper dealings with business consultants. To implement the Compliance Programme, Siemens has not only set up a worldwide compliance organisation but also a system to verify adherence to the programme.

HelpDesk

The Compliance Helpdesk "Tell us", offers Siemens employees, customers, suppliers and other Siemens business partners the opportunity to submit reports about violations to the Siemens Business Conduct Guidelines, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all over the world, confidentially.
