Corporate philosophy
We value cooperation
Everyday, many people throughout the world rely on our safety services – a huge responsibility firmly anchored in the spirit of TÜV NORD.
In the various fields, we have to constantly prove our ability to safely accompany customers into the future. This requires values not merely certified on a piece of paper, but values that are implemented on a daily basis: independence, objectivity, neutrality and integrity form the tradition and success of our company. Internally and externally.
Compliance
Safe compliance with rights and ethics
We would like to be certain that the rules of the game are adhered to: Therefore, the TÜV NORD Group has set up a Corporate Compliance Management program, which monitors compliance with the law and ethics of any kind.
The Compliance Management program helps employees to act in a correct and responsible manner. Whether in regard to company regulations, guidelines or behavioral codes.
Guidelines
Despite all the technology: be human
Even within the TÜV NORD Group, the rules are clear: Trust, respect, concern, and cordiality are the cornerstones of our personal conduct.
A key interface to the technologies that we employ every day. To ensure quality, safety and reliability while protecting people, the environment and property against risks, one very important prerequisite besides technical skills and long experience is: Care. This also applies from the corporate standpoint, e.g. when it comes to customer interaction, communication, transparency as well as anti-racism and anti-discrimination.
Code of conduct
Fairness and mutual respect – in all countries and cultures
TÜV NORD Group employees are aware of their social responsibility. Ultimately, we guarantee the “certified safety”that people rely on. As such, we are duty bound to public welfare in certain ways. The approach of each employee is based on a value system that requires a personal sense of serious-mindedness. This is set in stone in our company guidelines. It is the guiding principle for individual and company decision-making and processes.
The Code of Conduct specifically encompasses different countries and cultures and underlines the fact that the TÜV NORD Group is a network that operates worldwide and that is required to operate in an honest fashion – locally and globally.
