Kiepe compliance. To be a role model.

For us at Kiepe, compliance with laws, guidelines and voluntary codes is a matter of course. Sustainable growth must be in line with applicable legal requirements and ethical behavior. We comply with applicable laws and have established a group-wide compliance organization.

Group-wide compliance rules

The Kiepe compliance rules are of great importance to us. We have therefore created a group-wide compliance organization. Our “Code of Conduct” summarizes the guidelines for the behavior of all employees and is binding for everyone.

The “Code of Conduct” serves as a guideline for responsible dealings with colleagues, business partners and authorities. At Kiepe we do not tolerate any criminal offenses such as corruption or competition violations. Zero tolerance applies here.

Career

To offer the best solutions, we need energetic and enthusiastic individuals with a strong desire to be catalysts for change: Electrical technicians, electricians, engineers, salespeople, project managers and many more.
