Operating as a global enterprise, Wincor Nixdorf’s success within the business arena is, in large part, attributable to the company’s policy of social and ethical responsibility and adherence to applicable laws as a basis for all activities worldwide. In order to prepare our employees for the increasingly complex demands of a globalized environment and provide suitable guidance within this area, we have implemented a far-reaching compliance program. In accordance with the provisions set out by the compliance program, all employees are obliged to adhere to applicable laws. The program also includes a global Code of Conduct, with which our managers and staff must comply at all times. As an integral element of the above-mentioned program, the Code of Conduct defines standards for good and responsible corporate governance and documents the fundamental principles of social responsibility to be applied by all Wincor Nixdorf employees worldwide. Beyond this, the compliance program introduced by Wincor Nixdorf includes a number of other cross-company regulations that are designed to supplement the Code of Conduct.

For the purpose of implementing the compliance program, Wincor Nixdorf has established a global compliance organization headed by the Chief Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance Officer of Wincor Nixdorf reports to the Board of Directors as well as the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. Each regional company operated by Wincor Nixdorf has its own Regional Compliance Officers responsible for implementing the compliance program within their respective areas of authority. They report directly to the Chief Compliance Officer. The Compliance Officers ensure that staff remain fully briefed on the requirements of the compliance program, in addition to acting as the key point of contact for possible contraventions of compliance regulations.

If it is to remain successful, it is essential for Wincor Nixdorf to be accepted internationally. With this in mind, wherever we are around the world, we make every effort to be a reliable and attractive employer and one that takes its social responsibilities seriously.
