Compliance & Integrity

It is of utmost importance for the corporate governance that all the decisions are in line with the laws as well as the internal regulations and values.
The code of conduct applicable through the Group forms the basis for this, which is the Code of Compliance of the Würth Group.

Integrity as well as statutory and compliant behavior are the foundation of our business operations and are of highest priority within Würth Industri Sverige and the entire Würth Group. They form the basis for determining the value of the company, for gaining the valued trust of all customers and business partners, for the well-being of its employees as well as for sustainable economic success away from any possible risks.

Mutual trust, predictability, honesty and straightforwardness in respect of internal and external relations are the basic principles which are firmly established in Würth Group.

Act with conviction – act for a good future.

We believe: Success is permanent only when one acts in a responsible manner consistently. For us, that not only means to comply with the laws, but also to align personal behaviour with common values. For us, integrity means to act according to ethical principles such as mutual respect, honesty, esteem, sense of responsibility, reliability and fairness. Thus, we not only have to meet the expectations, adhere to the applicable laws as well as company rules and regulations but also practice our company values. These should be supported by all employees as well as by our business partners and should be embodied continuously with full conviction true to the motto “Set an example of the compliance internally and externally".
