Provide information – report violation

Our compliance philosophy

To ensure sustainable and fair corporate governance, we at SECO live a comprehensively thought-out compliance philosophy. We ensure in legal and organizational terms that our company reliably complies with all laws, standards and internal rules of conduct that affect us. We have summarized our principles in our Compliance Management Handbook. We also follow the recommendations of the ZVEI Code of Conduct, which has constitutional status within SECO. Thus, all entrepreneurial activities are aligned with it.

We attach particular importance to a long-term corporate strategy, employee-oriented corporate management, constantly working on the further development of our technology and taking care to protect our environment. We practice the principles of a prudent businessman, clean business practices, fair competition and have clear rules against corruption and bribery. We ensure adherence to these compliance principles through a dedicated compliance staff unit, an internal control system and annual training for all employees.

At SECO, human rights and the health of our employees are among our top priorities. We respect data protection and keep personal data under lock and key. Our colleagues are provided with extensive personal protective equipment in their day-to-day work. Our production facilities are equipped with modern exhaust air systems and we provide regular health and safety training. It goes without saying that our company has a zero-tolerance policy towards physical, psychological, sexual and verbal harassment and abuse, as well as the right to freedom of association and assembly and freedom of expression.

Our whistleblower system – Providing information

In order to meet this requirement, SECO has established a whistleblower system. Employees, business partners and third parties can use this system to report irregular behavior at any time. Please report information by e-mail to hinweis@seco-sensor.de, by telephone to our head office on +499561/869-141 or by post.

Of course, external electronic reporting via the Federal Office of Justice is also possible.

We treat all information received confidentially. We document every report in our internal system and process it reliably according to a predefined procedure. The whistleblower does not have to expect any reprisals or disadvantages in their future day-to-day work. Personal data collected as part of a report will only be used to process the compliance case.
