Compliance at KWS

Ethical business conduct is an important basis for KWS business activity for which we have implemented the international compliance system. Our goal is that KWS business ethics do not stop or are changed at national borders. We conducted a compliance-risk analysis for all business areas and regions, and established the compliance system with regulations that apply internationally to all KWS employees.
