Faultless ethical, lawful conduct is of the very greatest importance for the HOYER Group. We act with integrity and are committed to compliance with legal requirements, internal guidelines and ethical principles. Compliance is an essential part of our mission statement as a sustainable family business.

Code of Conduct

The general and HOYER-specific requirements for the conduct of employees in performing their tasks within the company are set out in the HOYER Group Code of Conduct.

Suppliers’ Code of Conduct

HOYER stands for sustainable, entrepreneurial thinking and action. We are aware of our social responsibility and our responsibility to protect the environment and to ensure sustainability performance in our supply chain as well. For this, we oblige our suppliers to obey the HOYER Suppliers’ Code of Conduct.

Compliance Hotline

The HOYER Group has set up a whistleblower system that enables all employees worldwide, as well as external persons, to report a violation of statutory provisions or of other regulations of the HOYER Code of Conduct or the Suppliers’ Code of Conduct.

Reporting observed or suspected violations can be done via a digital reporting form or by phone, even anonymously if desired, in almost any language. A global list of Compliance Hotline telephone numbers can be downloaded below.

Each report is received, reviewed and assessed, on behalf of HOYER Group’s Chief Compliance Officer, by HOYER Group’s General Counsel. If such is warranted, the Group General Counsel shall initiate a further investigation into the concern raised in the report. 

All information is treated as strictly confidential. The whistleblower need not fear any disadvantages, even if the report turns out to be unjustified.

Further details about the Compliance Hotline are governed in the HOYER Group’s Compliance Hotline Policy.
