Compliance
Compliance is an integral part of RKW. The company’s governing bodies, the management team and each individual employee of the RKW Group are responsible for complying with all relevant laws and policies, and should serve as role models. The commitment to compliance is part of RKW 's core understanding and strategy.
RKW has adopted the Code of Conduct of the German Association of the Plastics Converters (GKV). The GKV Code of Conduct integrates compliance requirements as well as ethical and social principles. This includes not only fundamental rules against corruption and agreements contrary to anti-trust law, but also international requirements such as the UN Human Rights Charter and recognised ethical principles. All employees and managers are obligated to adhere to the principles of business conduct provided in the GKV Code of Conduct.
RKW demands from its business partners pledge to respect the GKV Code of Conduct or to observe a comparable Code of Conduct.

Compliance Portal
As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, we have established a Compliance Portal. This system is designed to allow anyone, including employees and third-party stakeholders, to raise concerns about any unethical or illegal activities that they may observe in our company or in relation to our company.
We understand the importance of ensuring that our company operates with integrity at all times, and we believe that the Compliance Portal will aid us in achieving this goal. Any concerns that are raised through the portal will be thoroughly investigated, and appropriate actions will be taken to address any identified issues.
Your report may be submitted confidentially or anonymously, and we will take steps to ensure that those who use the system are not subject to retaliation of any kind.
