Suppliers and customers must be dealt with fairly. TRUMPF MEDICAL DEVICE GROUP expects the same from its suppliers and customers. Employees’ private interests and the interests of the company must be strictly segregated. Personal relationships or interests must not affect business activities. Decision-making processes must be based solely on factual considerations. Our relations with customers and suppliers are founded on quality, reliability, competitive prices and other objective criteria. For these reasons employees dealing with suppliers, customers, other business partners or officeholders must not demand or accept personal advantages such as payments, gifts or other benefits of value. TRUMPF MEDICAL DEVICE GROUP expects all employees to inform their superior if a business partner makes such an offer. Invitations by business partners not related to business appointments need to be authorized in advance by the employee’s superior. Similarly, in connection with work for our company, employees of other companies in Germany or abroad must not be promised or granted any personal advantages as consideration for preferences.
