Protecting Bosch
Avoiding conflicts of interest
As Bosch associates, we act in the sole interests of Bosch and in accordance with the Bosch values. To do so, we strictly separate private interests from business interests in order to avoid potential conflicts with Bosch’s interests. In case of doubt, we inform our supervisor or, if the supervisor could also be in a conflict of interest, another “neutral” person (for example, the next-level supervisor) in writing.
Conflicts of Interest
The risk that the professional judgment or actions of associates are influenced by personal interests to the extent that business decisions are no longer made for the sole benefit of Bosch.
You are a decision-maker in the awarding process for a new supplier in the automotive sector. The CEO of one of the potential suppliers is your sister-in-law.
Your relationship to the CEO of the supplier may lead to a conflict of interest, so you should inform your supervisor about this potential conflict and refrain from being part of this awarding process.
