Clear guidelines for traditional standards.
As an international group with subsidiaries and sales activities spread across the globe, it is important that our principles of conduct are binding and that violations are sanctioned accordingly. We still rely on all employees of the Datwyler Group keeping to the highest ethical standards. In the event of ambiguities in day-to-day operational life, the Code of Conduct serves as a practical guideline.
Basic Principles.

Standardized compliance reporting process for impeccable conduct
Datwyler is aware of its responsibility for ethically impeccable business practices. That is why we joined the UN Global Compact back in 2009 and have committed ourselves to comply with its ten principles on human rights, labour practices, environmental protection and anti-corruption. To ensure proper conduct, we have a standardized compliance reporting process, which is recorded in writing and available on the intranet for management and employees.

Tax strategy as part of social responsibility
With its long-term management approach and commitment to sustainability, Datwyler is dedicated to fulfilling its social responsibility. With its public tax strategy, the company commits not to engage in aggressive tax planning (exploitation of harmful tax practices) and activities and actions that constitute tax evasion or tax fraud. With regard to taxes, Datwyler takes a business-oriented approach based on functions, assets and operating risks, which ensures that the company pays an appropriate amount of taxes in each jurisdiction in which it operates. You can find out more about this in our publicly available tax strategy.
