We conduct our business responsibly and in compliance with the laws and regulations of all the countries where we do business. The company does not tolerate illegal and unethical behavior. We have established binding company guidelines that require all our managers and employees worldwide to behave ethically and in conformity with the law.
The cornerstone of compliance in any company is management's explicit directive to all employees that laws must be obeyed and that no infractions will be tolerated. At Siemens, this directive is set out in the Business Conduct Guidelines.
The Compliance Helpdesk " tell us", allows Siemens employees, clients and partners to make statements either online or by phone in up to 150 languages 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Call Center and the Website facilities are operated by an external provider specializing in the secure and confidential handling of sensitive content ensuring that every concern will be handled confidentially.
Employees and third parties can contact the external ombudsman on a confidential and anonymous basis if they have noticed any improper business practices in the company.
