With this Code of Conduct, we acknowledge our social responsibility and create clear guidelines for our actions. Our aim is to strengthen the trust of our business partners and build on it in the long term.

Liberal democracy

We are actively committed to a liberal democracy and promote respectful coexistence. Discrimination, racism and intolerance have no place in our organisation.

Human dignity

At smart5, we base our business activities on ethical values and principles such as integrity and respect for human dignity. Human dignity is inviolable. We therefore respect internationally recognised human rights as set out in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This also includes our commitment to a liberal democracy and against extremism.

Environmental and climate protection

smart5 is actively committed to continuously reducing the negative impact of our business activities on the environment and climate. We conduct our business in an ecologically responsible manner and strive for a climate-neutral future. For every project, we focus on the best possible and most environmentally friendly solution. Our aim is to recycle water, minimise emissions as far as possible and plan ahead. We are passionately committed to achieving the 1.5° target of the Paris Agreement.

Ethical commitment and integrity

We and our employees behave fairly and respectfully towards our business partners and customers. We firmly reject any form of bribery and corruption. smart5 protects the confidential information and business secrets of its partners and customers from unauthorised access, use or disclosure – at least in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.

We respect the intellectual property of our business partners, customers and third parties. When exchanging expertise and technologies, we ensure that appropriate precautions are taken to protect these rights.

This Code of Conduct reflects our commitment to ethical behaviour and serves as the basis for all our business activities. Together, we are working to create a sustainable future.
