Business Principles
Aside from our vision and goals, our ethical principles form the third pillar of WACKER’s corporate policy guidelines. These principles are laid down in five corporate codes – including our Code of Sustainability – and are supplemented by a body of regulations and directives. They are mandatory for all employees worldwide.
Vision – Goals – Ethical Principles

Code of Safety
The Code of Safety defines our safety culture and sets safety guidelines for workplaces, facilities, and products and their transport.
