COMPLIANCE – SUCCESS WITH RESPONSIBILITY
Compliance with statutory requirements and company policies is a key management task at
ThyssenKrupp Elevator. Within the framework of the Groupwide compliance program, our compli-
ance activities are focused on the areas of antitrust law and combating corruption.
In direct response to the fine decision of the European Commission in February 2007 relating
to antitrust violations in the elevator and escalator business, the Executive Board of ThyssenKrupp
Elevator AG issued a mission statement which unequivocally reiterated its rejection of antitrust
violations and corruption. Unlawful actions will continue to have no place in our company – antitrust
violations and corruption will not be accepted (“zero tolerance”).
The Group Compliance Program comprises various Group policy statements and publications
which spell out the underlying statutory provisions relating to competition and corruption law in
concrete terms. More than 700 executives and other employees in Germany and abroad underwent
compliance training in the reporting year in which the compliance program and the existing regulations
were explained in detail. Classroom training was supplemented by a Groupwide interactive
e- learning program, which around 2,400 employees of ThyssenKrupp Elevator have already completed.
In addition, our compliance officer and legal departments are available to answer any questions our em-
ployees may have. All employees are requested to contribute actively to implementing the compliance
program in their areas of responsibility.
Competence and � exibility are the hallmarks of our
dedicated employees.
