Policy Statement
With the Policy Statement, CARIAD acknowledges its responsibility to respect human rights and to explain how it fulfills this obligation.
Integrity & Compliance
Acting with integrity, responsibility and lawful conduct is an integral part of our corporate culture at CARIAD. They form the basis for our actions.
We take responsibility – as a member of society, as a business partner and in the workplace
Integrity
For us, setting an example of integrity means doing the right thing in our
professional environment out of our own conviction.
Integrity, transparency and fairness are crucial to creating credibility and trust in business transactions. We therefore attach particular importance to consistently implementing and clearly communicating the legal framework, internal Group guidelines and corporate values.
Compliance
At CARIAD SE, we use a Compliance Management System (CMS)
in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
Our CMS reflects the principles, measures, processes and structures that must be permanently established and continuously improved in order to comply with laws and counteract systematic misconduct.
Our focus on integrity, compliance and human rights strengthens the trust of employees, customers and partners in CARIAD. We drive our innovations forward with a deep sense of responsibility. This is important to me personally.
