Compliance

As a global leading technology company, the trust of our business partners, our employees, as well as the public is important to us. This trust critically depends on the behavior of each individual employee. The guiding principle for the behavior of each individual employee is compliance with the law and legislation, as well as compliance with other significant ethical standards and requirements set by TRUMPF itself. Without exception, the management and employees are required to act as business people of integrity and to comply with the law and legislation. It is only in this way that we can strengthen the reputation of our company.

TRUMPF Code of Conduct

In 2009, TRUMPF introduced a compliance program. An integral part of this program 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 behavior while carrying out business 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.

Compliance e-mail address

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 confidentially.

External whistleblower system for compliance topics

Through its website, TRUMPF has also provided access to an external whistleblower system since spring 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.
