Steel life cycle – Turnout (photo)

Turnout

Each and every voestalpine employee is unique and valuable and must be respected for his/her individual abilities. We see our employees as hard-working, motivated, eager to make every effort, and interested in taking an active role in both their own development and the development of the company in all of its diversity. For our part, we create a corporate culture in which we require and promote trust, diversity, self-determination, and assuming responsibility.

At voestalpine, all employees are treated equally regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, or any disabilities. Therefore, the voestalpine Group does not tolerate any form of discrimination whatsoever. In the Code of Conduct, which is binding for all employees through-out the entire Group, the Chapter “Respect and Integrity” states:

Based on the UN Charter and the European Convention on Human Rights, human rights are viewed by the Group as fundamental values, which must be respected and observed by all employees.

The corporate culture of voestalpine Group acknowledges and welcomes the fact that each person is unique and valuable and shall be respected for his or her individual abilities. voestalpine Group therefore does not tolerate any form of discrimination whatsoever.

This also applies to sexual harassment in any form, for instance by way of obvious advances, demeaning comments, jokes, vulgar expressions, obscene gestures, or the display of graphic material in business and production facilities of the Group. Such conduct may be considered harassment even if it is not intended as such.

These principles shall also apply to conduct towards external persons.

In Austria, companies with more than 25 employees are required to make jobs available for persons with disabilities. For reasons relating to data protection and privacy, information about the possible disability of employees is not collected outside of Austria.
