Ethical corporate governance means responsible corporate management of the Group that is geared, for one, to creating sustainable value in the long term and, for another, to ensuring that the conduct of all Group employees complies with both statutory requirements and internal guidelines as well as fundamental moral and ethical values (Compliance).

In order to ensure that managing and controlling the Group responsibly serves to create sustainable shareholder value in the long term, the Group’s Management Board and Supervisory Board undertook as early as in 2003 to comply with the Austrian Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”).
