Integrity beyond a doubt at all times

For many years, the top management of the ANDRITZ GROUP has made it crystal clear to all directors, managers and employees that business must be conducted in an ethical manner and in compliance with laws and internal rules.

We also consider it a key part of our social responsibility to incorporate sustainability goals into our products and the way we operate our businesses. In other words: our business culture requires that our integrity be maintained beyond a doubt at all times.

CEO Compliance Statement

Compliance with laws and regulations and respect for business ethics are the foundation of ANDRITZ's business. It is written down in our Code of Conduct and Ethics. This isn't about ticking boxes; it's about ensuring our long-term success and maintaining the trust of our partners, communities, and colleagues.
 

It's crucial that everyone at ANDRITZ, whether you're an employee or a business partner, understands and lives by these values. Our reputation, success, and the great relationships we've built depend on it.


We’re committed to promoting these standards across ANDRITZ, ensuring that our values are more than just words. Let's keep ANDRITZ a place where we not only do business but do it right!

The Group Compliance Organization

We have established an ANDRITZ Group Compliance Organization to address a number of key subjects and provide ongoing global coverage in all regions in which we operate. The mission of the Group Compliance Organization is to ensure that risk assessments are carried out and that compliance regulations and procedures are implemented and improved. In addition, it conducts internal and external audits to assess the effectiveness of rules and make further improvements. We encourage employees, business partners, and stakeholders to raise any concerns they may have. This can be done by using the anonymous whistleblowing tool Speak Up!

Together, all aspects of our Group Compliance Program contribute to ensuring the effectiveness of our Compliance Management System. It is founded upon international recognized standards, based on a dynamic system that functions on the cornerstones of:

Risks assessment - Prevention - Detection - Sanction - Improvement

Supplier Compliance

For our Group Compliance Program to succeed, it is important that members of our supply chain adhere to the same values, principles and rules as we do. Many of our customers value the fact that ANDRITZ is making tremendous efforts to ensure that our suppliers comply with our standards of integrity. Suppliers who support the same compliance values and rules will be preferred business partners of our global organization.

This is why we have established a Supplier Code of Conduct that summarizes our suppliers’ commitment to our Group Compliance Program. Any business partner who wishes to be a supplier to the ANDRITZ GROUP is requested to adhere to the Supplier Code of Conduct. Suppliers must also pass an onboarding procedure during which they have to answer a questionnaire and may be subject to compliance audits. Eventually we may also invite our suppliers’ employees working for ANDRITZ to pass an online training course designed especially for them.

Tax Compliance and Tax Behavior

Our commitment to tax compliance is in line with our broader dedication to responsible corporate citizenship. We firmly believe that businesses, as integral members of society, have a responsibility to contribute to the common good, and paying taxes is one of the fundamental ways through which we fulfill that responsibility. 

The ANDRITZ Group’s Statement on Tax Behavior aims to give an insight on how ANDRITZ is handling tax matters, with focus on maintaining the highest level of tax honesty and compliance. Furthermore, this statement provides high-level information on approaches and principles regarding all tax matters within the ANDRITZ Group and describes the framework conditions we have set ourselves for dealing with all kinds of tax related matters. To provide an overall picture of how ANDRITZ acts in the world of taxes, this Statement does not only apply for corporate income taxes, but also for VAT, withholding taxes, customs duties, and all kinds of other taxes.
