Dear associates,

Navigating the complexities of our business environment can be challenging, particularly when faced with critical and sensitive issues. Our Code of Conduct serves as a guide to help us adhere to legal and ethical standards, promote fair working conditions, and foster respectful collaboration. It encompasses principles such as integrity, transparency, equality, and environmental protection. We all play a part in ensuring that our working environment is safe, fair, and inclusive.

The Code of Conduct is an integral part of our corporate culture and provides a compass for our daily actions. It supports us in living up to the Bosch values and maintaining our high standards across all divisions. When dilemmas arise, it serves as a tool to help us make the right decisions.

Our success is not solely dependent on the quality of our products and services, but also on the trust of our customers and partners, as well as our reputation in the public eye. We have to work for this approval every day anew. It is therefore imperative that we all take responsibility and act in accordance with the principles outlined in our Code of Conduct.

We urge you to carefully review the Code of Conduct and integrate its principles into your daily work. Only through collective effort can we ensure that Bosch achieves its goals and remains successful over the long term.

Thank you for your continued commitment.
