Code of Business Principles
Univanich enjoys a reputation for conducting its business with integrity and with respect for the interests of those people and environments our activities can affect. This reputation is an asset, just as real as our people, factories, and brand.
Our first priority is to be a profitable business and that means investing for growth and balancing short term and long term business interests. It also means caring about our customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, and the communities and environments in which we conduct our operations.
In the course of meeting our business objectives, we consider it essential that all employees understand and comply with our values and therefore share the Univanich way of doing things.
It is very easy in the realm of business ethics to make high sounding statements of little practical value. The general principles contained in this Code are the bedrock; more detailed guidance tailored to the needs of different countries and companies will be further developed.
This Code of Business Principles is a core Univanich statement and we commend it to you.
