Transparency
When conducting business activities, compliance to local laws and internal company rules as well as respect of human rights and environmental regulations is of key importance to us. This applies both to in-house processes as well as to relationships with other external points of contact such as customers, authorities, partners and suppliers, as evidenced in our parent company dormakaba’s Commitment on Human Rights and Supplier Code of Conduct - both of which can be accessed at dormakaba's Directives and Statements of Commitment.
