Compliance of the SFC Energy Group

Our Understanding of Compliance

Responsible action by all companies of the SFC Energy Group in accordance with our ethical principles and corporate values is essential for our long-term success. Compliance with national and international laws and guidelines is a matter of course for us.

Our Codes of Conducts serve as a framework for the actions of our employees and business partners as well as our suppliers. They ensure full compliance with regulations at all levels within the company. Based on this framework, we enable everyone who has a business relationship with the SFC Energy Group to take responsibility and do the "right thing". By acting responsibly on the individual level at every site and at all levels within our organisation and our supply chain, we as SFC Energy Group can ensure full compliance.

Our codes of conduct

The SFC Energy Group's codes of conduct define our responsibilities and our practiced integrity and are based on five corporate values that serve as guidelines for correct behavior:

  • Customer focus and passion
  • Sustainability and responsibility
  • Fairness and integrity
  • Quality and innovation
  • Diversity

We expect our business partners, including suppliers, to live up to their social responsibility in all their business activities. With the Code of Conduct for our business partners, we would therefore also like to contribute our share of responsibility to our supply chain.
