Introduction

Our company stands for transparency, trust and sustainable behaviour. We are convinced that ethical behaviour and legal integrity form the basis for our long-term success and the trust of our employees, customers and partners. We are therefore committed to the highest standards and do not tolerate any breaches of these principles.

Scope of application

This mission statement applies to the entire LPDG at all locations and activities of our company, including all employees, contractors and suppliers.

Anti-corruption

Corruption has no place in our company. We do not tolerate any form of bribery, facilitation payments or other practices that encourage corruption. Our aim is to make ethical business decisions that are based on the quality of our services and products and are not influenced by improper advantages.

Avoidance of conflicts of interest

We expect all our employees and partners to recognise and avoid potential conflicts of interest at an early stage. Decisions should always be made for the benefit of our company and our customers, free from personal interests or advantages.
Transparency and disclosure are essential to ensure impartiality and fairness.

Prevention of fraud

Our company is committed to a zero-tolerance approach to fraud in any form. This includes fraudulent behaviour that could be detrimental to our company or third parties. We are committed to preventing, detecting and combating fraud through clear guidelines and regular checks.

Measures against money laundering

By carefully scrutinising our business partners and continuously monitoring our financial transactions, we ensure that we do not become a conduit for dishonest financial transactions.
