Compliance.
SBB believes that complying with legal requirements, regulations and internal directives is the foundation for running a successful business. It sees compliance as ensuring appropriate conduct and providing a framework in which all regulations and directives are consistently adhered to. For members of the Board of Directors and the Management Board, as well as for all other employees, compliance is an important part of daily work and is accepted as a matter of course. At SBB, the Code of Conduct, which has been in force since 1 January 2011, serves as the basis for a common understanding of compliance.
