Commitment of the company management
PreOmics GmbH duty is to act in an economically, socially and environmentally conscious manner. The company strives to conduct its business competently on an ethical and moral basis and to compete fairly in all markets in which it operates. This includes compliance with applicable laws and acceptance of antitrust prohibitions or restrictions on competition. At all costs, we want to avoid gaining undue advantages over customers, suppliers or competitors.
Team spirit, constructive cooperation
We continuously question existing solutions and develop new ideas for the benefit of our customers. To this end, we promote constructive cooperation among our employees. Their interests and demands on us are decisive for our work and further development. Only through consistent teamwork can we be successful in the various business areas.
Standards of cooperation
We expect all our employees to act in accordance with the highest professional standards at all times. If employees violate existing guidelines, rules or regulations in the course of their work or through their behavior, the employees concerned will face disciplinary action.

Open communication with employees
We do not cover up misconduct. When employees report actual or suspected misconduct in good faith, we do not tolerate intimidation or retaliation. We understand "in good faith" to mean that the employee is convinced that his or her account is true. This applies regardless of whether a subsequent investigation confirms the employee's version or not.
Dialog with cooperation partners
All business information of our partners and their trade secrets are treated sensitively and confidentially as a matter of principle. Required documents are properly prepared, stored or, if necessary, returned or destroyed after the end of the cooperation.

Customer orientation
We always behave fairly and honestly towards our customers and business partners. We record the wishes, needs and expectations of our customers and business partners in order to ensure a targeted implementation in products, services or other processes. Our primary goal is to build a long-term and stable relationship with our customers and business partners on the basis of trust.
Acceptance of gifts, donations
Gifts to our employees
Our employees do not request or accept personal benefits from customers or suppliers that could influence or affect their own behavior with regard to their work for the company. If gifts are offered by third parties, they may only be accepted if they are common practice and can be recognized as a courtesy or favor (promotional gifts bearing the logo of the donating company, such as calendars or pens). In the case of gifts whose value exceeds the customary amount, the Compliance Officer or management must be informed. If this is not possible, these gifts must always be refused.
Gifts from our employees
Gifts from our employees may also only be offered within the scope of what is customary for the business relationship and to a materially appropriate extent. The recipient must not be able to associate any obligation with it that would influence his or her business decisions.
Donations
As a matter of principle, PreOmics does not donate to political parties, to individuals or to organizations whose goals contradict our corporate philosophy or damage our reputation. Donations are always made in a transparent manner.
