CSR & Compliance

Draft: these principles will be confirmed internally and legally reviewed before going live.

Our commitment

Qsigma develops and builds measuring systems that our customers use to safeguard the quality of their products. Precise measurement reveals deviations early. We apply this standard of precision to our own conduct as well.

The following principles apply to Qsigma GmbH and to everyone acting on its behalf. Management is responsible for ensuring that they are observed.

Export control and sanctions

Our systems are in use worldwide. For deliveries and services abroad, we comply with the German Foreign Trade and Payments Act and Ordinance (AWG/AWV), the EU Dual-Use Regulation (EU) 2021/821, the sanctions and embargo regulations of the European Union and, where applicable, the export control regulations of other countries.

• We only supply goods and services that require a licence once the licence has been granted.
• Where necessary, we verify end users and end use.
• We screen business partners against the relevant sanctions lists.
• Where there is doubt about the end use, we decline the business.

Integrity and fair competition

We win business through technical expertise and reliable support. We do not offer, promise or grant bribes or any other improper advantage, nor do we accept them. This expressly applies to dealings with public officials. Hospitality and gifts remain within customary and appropriate limits.

We comply with competition and antitrust law and do not enter into agreements with competitors on prices, bids or markets. We disclose potential conflicts of interest. We use confidential information from our customers and partners, such as drawings and part data, solely for the agreed purpose.

Environment and supply chain

Our systems are developed and built by Qsigma in Germany. For us, robust and durable systems and long-term service are also a contribution to conserving resources. Because the software and the design come from us, we can adapt existing systems and keep using them instead of replacing them. We take substance regulations such as REACH and RoHS into account where they apply to the system concerned. Information under Article 33 REACH is provided on request.

We expect our suppliers and partners to comply with applicable law, to respect human rights and fair working conditions, and to exclude forced and child labour. We support our customers in meeting their supply chain due diligence obligations by providing the information they need.

Questions and reports

Please send questions on compliance and export control, as well as reports of possible violations, to compliance@qsigma.de. We treat reports confidentially. Anyone who submits a report in good faith need not fear any disadvantage. Independently of this, the German Federal Government’s external reporting office at the Federal Office of Justice (Bundesamt für Justiz) is also available.
