In view of our steady growth, promoting a positive corporate culture is a key concern for Amprion on the way to satisfied employees and maximum business success. Against this background, a broad process of cultural development, communication and interaction has been initiated. More than 100 employees from all company departments got together in 15 workshops to define the cornerstones of Amprion’s corporate culture, consisting of five mission-critical elements: transparency, appreciation, interdepartmental cooperation, learning objectives and goal orientation. Together they form our cornerstones of Amprion’s corporate culture.
The Culture Compass
The Culture Compass sets out the cornerstones of Amprion’s corporate culture and was developed by the staff.

Respect
I behave respectfully and impartially.
Collaboration
I collaborate across departments.
Learning Orientation
I know what is expected of me and am learning more.
Compliance and Anti-Corruption
Our actions are characterised by a sense of direct responsibility, sincerity and integrity and respect for our fellow human beings and the environment. As a regulated company, Amprion is subject to special legal requirements. The Management Board manages the company accordingly and is itself monitored and supervised by the Supervisory Board. In our Code of Conduct, we have set out key principles for conduct that complies with regulations and the law. They apply to the Supervisory Board, the Management Board, executives and all employees alike. We have also established a Compliance Management System (CMS) that includes a set procedure for preventing, detecting and addressing allegations or incidents relating to corruption or bribery, and which applies to the whole of Amprion, including our offshore-line subsidiary. In this way, compliance is an integral part of our daily working practices.
Amprion also places a particular focus on corruption prevention. We have an anti-corruption policy that is binding on all employees, which requires lawful, ethical and honest conduct, clearly defines conflicts of interest and sets out transparent guidelines for their disclosure, documentation and handling. It contains a clear definition of corruption, expressly prohibits bribery and kickbacks, and is in line with the UN Convention against Corruption. In addition, all employees complete a mandatory basic compliance training course via e-learning, in which corruption is addressed as a key topic. We also ensure, through a whistleblowing system, that internal and external individuals can report suspected cases of corruption or bribery via various channels, including anonymously.
