Provide information – Report a violation

Our compliance philosophy

At SECO, we adhere to a comprehensive compliance philosophy to ensure sustainable and fair corporate governance. We take legal and organisational measures to ensure that our company reliably complies with all applicable laws, standards and internal rules of conduct. We have summarised our principles in our Compliance Management Manual. We also follow the recommendations of the ZVEI Code of Conduct, which has constitutional status within SECO. All business activities are therefore aligned with this code.

We place particular emphasis on a long-term corporate strategy and employee-oriented management, constantly work on further developing our technology and pay attention to protecting our environment. We practise the principles of sound business management, clean business practices and fair competition, and have clear rules against corruption and bribery. We ensure compliance with these principles through a dedicated compliance department, an internal control system and annual training for all employees.

At SECO, human rights and the health of our employees are our top priority. We respect data protection and keep personal data confidential. Our colleagues have access to comprehensive personal protective equipment in their everyday work. Our production facilities are equipped with modern exhaust air systems and we conduct 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, and we uphold the right to freedom of association, freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.

Our whistleblower system – Report concerns

In order to meet this requirement, SECO has established a whistleblower system. This system allows employees, business partners and third parties to report any irregular behaviour at any time. Please report any information by email 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 reports confidentially. We document every report in our internal system and process it reliably according to a specified procedure. The person making the report will not face any reprisals or disadvantages in their future working life. Personal data collected in the course of a report will only be used for the purpose of handling the compliance case.
