Taking part in the UN Global Compact

By taking part in the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s biggest corporate sustainability initiative, we are committed to adhering to ten principles for responsible business practices, encompassing topics such as human rights, working conditions, climate protection and corruption. We are explicitly undertaking to embed sustainability in our company by taking part in the UNGC.

Neben dem UN Global Compact bilden die UNO-Ziele für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung (Sustainable Development Goals) den übergeordneten Rahmen für unsere Nachhaltigkeitsaktivitäten.

Responsible corporate conduct

In our decision-making and guidelines we adhere to the relevant statutory provisions, norms and standards that apply to our activities. Infringements such as corruption, bribery, human rights violations, anticompetitive conduct, data misuse and environmental negligence contravene our basic principles. Employees can report any violation of the rules using an anonymous whistle-blower system. The BKW Group Code of Conduct is an important guide for our actions.
