Compliance

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.
