Principles of Ruhrgetriebe
Corporate Social Responsibility
Code of Conduct of Ruhrgetriebe
The ZVEI and its member companies assume social responsibility in a corporate context. The ZVEI Code of Conduct was developed for this purpose. It covers international standards and serves as a guideline for companies to make their own declarations to customers or to demand corresponding declarations from suppliers.
The ZVEI Code of Conduct reflects the association’s shared value base and promotes socially responsible corporate governance. More than 550 companies have signed this code, which at the same time serves as recognition in business relationships and enables suppliers to apply it without having to sign additional company codes.
Corporate culture and values
We are Ruhrgetriebe
This mission statement documents the corporate purpose and the related values and business principles typical of Ruhrgetriebe, which have guided our actions since 1953.
Cornerstones: The guiding principles of Ruhrgetriebe:
Social responsibility
OUR CORPORATE VALUES
At Ruhrgetriebe, we see ourselves not only as a manufacturer of innovative drive technologies, but also as an active shaper of a sustainable and social future. Our commitment to social responsibility is a central component of our corporate philosophy and is reflected in various areas of our activities.
In a global world, the complexity of markets is frequently not easy to manage. You, as a producing machine manufacturer, should be able to concentrate completely on the development and manufacture of your products. Our task as a drive solution specialist is to integrate the current technology standards and guidelines into our drive solutions and consequently to be able to supply you with a perfectly configured drive unit.
Integrity & Compliance
Whistleblower system
Trust through integrity
The Ruhrgetriebe platform for trust and openness
Full compliance with our internal regulations, Code of Conduct and Business Partner Code of Conduct is a top priority at Ruhrgetriebe. Our corporate success is founded on integrity and strict compliance. In order to meet this high standard, it is of central importance to detect and stop potential violations by employees or suppliers. For this purpose, the Central Intelligence Office has implemented an independent, objective and confidential whistleblowing system.
