Corporate Governance
Our structures are based on three important pillars
H&K AG is clearly committed to corporate governance and corporate compliance.
We understand this to mean the principles for the proper and responsible management and supervision of our company at local and global level. Responsible management processes and unconditional compliance with legal regulations are our foundations for the success of our green countries strategy. We are committed to responsible, transparent management and control of the company.
Accordingly, we are committed to the following three principles:
- Transparency is the key to information policy.
- We use the advantages of significantly significantly structured processes, more sustainable decisions and an improved risk management.
- With a pragmatic structural and procedural organisation, we aim to manage and monitor the relevant issues in the areas of Strategy, Financial and Non-Financial Reporting, Compliance, Operations and ESG.
An adapted corporate governance and compliance organisation has tangible benefits for our company: Increasing confidence in the economic market, clear distribution of responsibilities, reduction of liability risks and higher efficiency of decision-making processes.
We care – no compromise.
