Corporate Guidelines

In our guidelines we define our demands on the conduct of our employees and business partners. The integrity of action plays an important role here. We rely on adherence to our Code of Conduct and Ethics, our Anti-Corruption Policy and all other compliance guidelines.

We conduct our business in all countries with decency and respect. It goes without saying that all applicable laws, regulations and rules must be strictly adhered to. Everything we expect from our employees, we also expect from our contractors, consultants, agents and other representatives.

For our employees worldwide, regular training courses consolidate and deepen the necessary knowledge in the preventive fight against corruption and bribery. We convey the content through classroom and e-learning courses. Participation in compliance training courses is mandatory for all employees and is evaluated by our Compliance Office. We also train our employees in exposed functions and national companies.

AIXTRON's suppliers have their own manual, which sets out binding rules for business cooperation. Conduct in violation of the law or regulations will not be tolerated and will lead to the disqualification as our supplier. AIXTRON expects its contractors to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to their employees, products and processes and to consider their conduct and ethical principles to be the highest corporate responsibility.
