Policies & Compliance
Business Conduct
Belimo conducts its business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and in full compliance with applicable laws. Belimo’s Mission Statement is supported by the Belimo Code of Conduct, which all employees must follow. Completion of a mandatory web-based training course ensures knowledge and understanding. The Code of Conduct reinforces integrity of actions and behavior across all regions.
All suppliers are expected to sign the Belimo Supplier Principles. By signing, they commit to adhering to the Belimo Code of Conduct and ensuring compliance throughout their own supply chains.
Belimo’s Code of Conduct, Supplier Principles and the Belimo Supply Chain Policy outline the Company's fundamental principles with regard to:
Environmental Protection
Belimo uses resources sparingly and avoids materials that are harmful to the environment or difficult to dispose of. Environmental protection is continuously improved through an appropriate environmental management system focusing on careful energy consumption and compliance with legal and international standards. Belimo endeavors to develop products that contribute to improve energy efficiency in its customers' applications.
Health and Safety
Belimo ensures the health and safety of its employees through a dedicated health and safety management system. The Company minimizes risks and implements preventive measures to avoid accidents and occupational illnesses. All employees are regularly informed and trained on safety standards and procedures.
Credibility Culture
Belimo’s culture is based on trust, integrity, competence, and accountability. It emphasizes personal commitment, the courage to take risks to inspire customers, teamwork, and cultural diversity. To live up to this cultural standard, the Company is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are included, treated with respect and dignity, free from all forms of unlawful discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. It has zero tolerance for violations.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Belimo provides equal employment opportunity to all individuals without discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, disability, color, race, nationality, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, pregnancy or any other characteristic protected by law. Harassment, including sexual harassment, or any other form of discrimination, is strictly prohibited in the workplace.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
In addition to its Code of Conduct, adhering to Belimo’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy is mandatory for all employees and business partners. This policy ensures that directors, officers and employees, as well as third parties acting with or on behalf of Belimo, avoid all forms of corruption, including but not limited to bribery of public officials, suppliers and other stakeholders. Belimo applies clear competence guidelines and a dual-control principle to prevent misconduct. Additionally, internal and external auditors regularly check the books for irregularities as part of the standard audit process. The Belimo Code of Conduct and the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy are presented to all new employees during the onboarding and training process. Also, all policies are available to every employee and updated on a regular basis.
Child Labor and Conflict Minerals
Belimo recognizes the importance of ensuring ethical business practices, respect for human rights, and compliance with environmental standards throughout its supply chain. It prohibits the use of child labor and conflict minerals throughout its supply chain. All suppliers and partners must comply with the Belimo Supplier Principles, including behavioral standards, and ensure compliance of their own sub-suppliers. Belimo reserves the right to audit its suppliers accordingly. Measures taken by Belimo against child labor and conflict minerals are described in the Belimo Supply Chain Policy.
Human Rights
The Belimo Code of Conduct is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations (UN), the guidelines by the International Labor Organization (ILO), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Grievance Mechanism and Integrity Channel
Employees, suppliers or third parties are encouraged to report any concerns through the Belimo Integrity Channel, which is globally accessible and guarantees the anonymous and confidential reporting of incidents.
This grievance mechanism is operated by an external provider and is available 24/7 in German, English, and Chinese; reports can be entered in all languages. All grievances are monitored and reviewed by the CHRO and General Counsel.
