The success of SICK is based on the trust of our customers, suppliers, employees, and the public. The observance of statutory provisions and the company’s own internal guidelines is key to maintaining this trust, the stability of the company, and for further growth. 

 
The SICK Compliance Management System aims to ensure compliance with these requirements and consists of fundamental principles and measures to ensure legally compliant behavior within the company.
 
  • Compliance Organization at SICK

    The SICK Compliance Organization ensures compliance with statutory provisions and the company’s own internal guidelines. It is available to provide support and advice to all areas of the SICK Group. Our local compliance officers also ensure that statutory provisions and the company’s own internal guidelines are observed and support managers of SICK Group companies in implementing compliance.

  • SICK code of conduct

    The goal of the SICK Compliance Management System is to promote compliance with statutory provisions and the company’s own internal guidelines as well as to prevent misconduct. 

    The foundation for this is the SICK code of conduct
    The SICK code of conduct sets standards for business deals and applies to all SICK employees. It is the universally valid guide for correct behavior in everyday working life.
  • SICK supplier code of conduct

    In addition to the SICK code of conduct, SICK also aims to promote its principles of conduct along the entire value chain. To ensure this, SICK expects that its suppliers will also comply with minimum standards and work towards fulfilling them throughout the supply chain. 

    The foundation for this is the SICK supplier code of conduct.
