Compliance and integrity are at the core of our business operations
Compliance and integrity: our foundation
At Siemens Mobility, we uphold zero-tolerance towards corruption, unfair competition, and any legal violations. When such breaches occur, we act swiftly and decisively. However, compliance extends beyond mere adherence to laws and the Siemens Business Conduct Guidelines. It is the cornerstone of all our decisions and actions, ensuring integrity in every business transaction. Our guiding principle is clear: Only clean business is Siemens Mobility business. This standard is upheld globally and at every organizational level.
Our Compliance Department plays a crucial role in this effort, not only by combating corruption and violations of competition and export-control laws but also by protecting our company from fraud, money laundering, and safeguarding personal data and human rights.

Our commitment to compliance generates trust with customers, passengers, and stakeholders. We make no compromises when it comes to integrity and responsible behavior to deliver our promise and Transform the Everyday.
