For Camfil, responsible acting means that we conduct our business in a manner that is fair, reliable, and transparent. That includes what is commonly referred to as compliance - full observance of all applicable laws, internal regulations, and binding voluntary commitments. Camfil operates to the highest standards and has policies in place governing our behaviour both internally and externally. To support our efforts in identifying potential ethical violations, Camfil has for many years been providing a whistleblowing service to employees for reporting their concerns confidentially. This whistleblowing service is also offered to our Business Partners. By using this function, Business Partners can report knowledge or suspicion of activities that are illegal or are not aligned with Camfil’s moral and ethical values as stated in this Code.
