Code of conduct & HSE directives

The LANXESS Code of Conduct, which is applicable throughout the Group, requires all our employees – across all organizational units, regions and hierarchy levels – to behave lawfully and with integrity.
Through correct and proper conduct, each employee is responsible for helping to prevent harm to LANXESS and increase the company’s value over the long term. The code covers issues such as

• human rights,
• cartel and antitrust law,
• anti-corruption,
• data protection,
• occupational, product and plant safety,
• and environmental protection.

HSE Directives

Other Group directives, such as the HSE directives and the guideline on incentives, define the specific application of regulations in the individual areas of compliance covered by the code and are binding for our staff throughout the Group.

On the basis of these LANXESS directives, more detailed regulations that also take account of local requirements are defined at the operational level in

1. standard operating procedures and
2. process instructions etc.

The applicable directives, standard operating procedures and guidelines are accessible to all employees. Employees are also regularly informed of new and updated regulations relevant to them.
