HeidelbergCement’s globalization process – characterized by rapid growth and geographical expansion – has required the integration of many different cultures. Being successful as one Group requires the sharing of common values. In our Corporate Mission, the company’s culture and our fundamental values are laid down in general. By adopting Group-wide leadership principles, we have built the foundation for a common management culture.
Our company’s ambition for operational excellence and a prime position in the champions league needs a solid foundation of commitment to lawful and ethical conduct. The Code of Business Conduct describes our values of high ethical and legal standards for all our business activities from strategic planning to day-to-day procedures in all countries in which we operate.
All HeidelbergCement employees must comply not only with the letter but also with the spirit of the
Code of Business Conduct. Managers have the additional responsibility of fostering a
culture in which compliance with the HeidelbergCement policy and applicable law is at the core of our business activities. Living high ethical and legal standards in all our business activities is fundamental for the future success of HeidelbergCement and its employees.
