Over 120 Compliance employees worldwide
At Schindler, employees are engaged in Compliance at all levels.
At Schindler, our goal is to be the most respected company in our industry worldwide. We’ll win by offering better products and unique services, by building lasting customer relationships, and by being leaders and innovators with an unceasing passion for progress and improvement. Our mission is to create long term value.
What we won’t do, and what we’ll never allow anyone who works for Schindler to do, is to try to win by cheating. There is no place in our company for corruption or collusion, for offering or accepting bribes, or for any form of underhand practice. And that’s as non-negotiable as our commitment to safety. At Schindler, we're a team with shared values and a code of conduct. We win together by being the best.
