Compliance

We at Georg Nordmann Holding Aktiengesellschaft together with its subsidiaries (GNH Group) are a longstanding international family-owned organization with a great wealth of experience that stands for sustainable, innovative, and continuous growth. Anchored in our subgroups’ visions each and every one of us contributes to our success: 

NORDMANN:

To be the partner of choice in the international distribution of specialties and chemicals  

ROWA GROUP: 

A strong community setting standards for polymer materials and chemical industries 

What matters to us is not only the results we achieve, but also how we get there and how we interact with one another along the way. That is why the GNH Group’s work is driven by our four key values: 

Responsibility, Performance, Guiding and Passion.

We stand for passion and responsibility in all we do, and we always act in the best interest of our stakeholders while faithfully assuring legal and ethical conformity in all aspects of our business. 

Our way of working and decision-making at GNH Group is based on our key values. We believe they are also the core principles of everyone working with us, ensuring the continued existence and growth of our organization.   

This Code of Conduct serves to guide all our actions and defines how we interact with one another, our business partners, the environment, and the risks we are faced with. When confronted with a dilemma situation, we trust that everyone who works for or on behalf of GNH Group will consider our values and use our reporting channels to seek help or to speak-up.  

If you believe that any of the principles outlined in our Code of Conduct have been violated, please raise your concerns to one of your supervisor(s), those responsible for compliance within the respective GNH Group subsidiary, the Director Group Compliance, or our Integrity Line, through which reports can be submitted anonymously. 

Our Code of Conduct is – without exception – binding for all of us in the GNH Group. For this reason, we ask each of you to familiarize yourselves with our Code of Conduct, set good examples, and remain ever committed to conducting business in an honest, fair, and respectful manner. 

We count on your support and thank every one of you for the important contributions that you make day by day.

It protects whistleblowers, those affected and employees who are involved in clarifying reported misconduct. This also includes offering opportunities for anonymous reporting and communication. Discrimination or retaliation against whistleblowers and all persons who contribute to investigations within the GNH Group will not be tolerated.
