Compliance

In 2009 TRUMPF introduced a compliance programme. An integral part of this programme is the TRUMPF Code of Conduct. This outlines the  basic rules which TRUMPF expects the management and all employees to comply with as regards ethically appropriate behaviour during business transactions across the globe. The Code of Conduct is available in the following languages:

Bulgarian, Chinese, German, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian.  

Confidential information about violations of the compliance rules can be sent by e-mail (compliance@de.trumpf.com) to the head of the legal affairs and M&A central department. For information which is given in good faith, the identity of the whistleblower is treated with confidentiality.

Through its website, TRUMPF has also provided access to an external whistleblower system since the spring of 2017. Using this system, everyone can report compliance violations as well as ask questions about compliance topics ("ask & tell"). As well as employees, this is also available to customers, suppliers and other third parties. Messages can also be sent via smartphone.  

Integrity Line, a Swiss company based in Zurich, is our external service provider. They provide a system which is technically designed to ensure anonymity. To safeguard the anonymity of the whistleblower, the communication platform is not run on TRUMPF servers but on a secure Integrity Line server. The whistleblower or person asking the question can, but does not have to, reveal their identity. Personal details can of course be provided voluntarily.
