B) WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW
Code of Conduct
Credibility, reliability, professionalism and performance orientation are crucial to the success of any business.
This means that BAWAG P.S.K.’s success depends directly on the trust that our customers, employees and
the responsible government and supervisory authorities place in our Bank.
We have drawn up a Code of Conduct to maintain and increase this trust. This Code defines the fundamental
ethical standards towards which all employees, boards and officers of BAWAG P.S.K. must orient their
actions.
Every employee of BAWAG P.S.K. is expected to comply with the values and principles in this Code, and
the members of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board have also undertaken to comply with these rules.
This Code of Conduct, which is also in force at other Austrian banks in this form or a similar form,
is a binding framework for guiding our daily business activities and our business policies.
