At Axpo, we view trust, respect, and integrity as the foundation of everything we do. Our commitment goes beyond simply meeting regulations—we strive to act responsibly and ethically in everything we do. This way, we ensure that we live up to the high expectations of our stakeholders and ourselves.
Integrity, transparency, and values-driven actions are non-negotiable for us. Every employee and leadership team member is expected to embody these principles. Together, we create a culture of accountability and professionalism that safeguards our reputation and strengthens our relationships.
Our Ethics & Compliance team promotes a strong culture of integrity, ensuring that our values are embedded in everyday business practices at every level of the organisation. Supporting the implementation of our compliance strategy and maintaining a proactive approach to ethical conduct are at the core of the team’s role.
The Ethics & Compliance team operates globally, combining dedicated experts at Axpo’s headquarters in Baden with regional representatives across our international subsidiaries.
A central part of its mission is to support the company in identifying, assessing, and mitigating compliance risks. Through clear guidance, regular training, and open channels for questions or concerns, the team empowers employees to make decisions that reflect Axpo’s values and ethical principles. Continuous education further strengthens shared accountability and reinforces ethics as a business advantage.
Our Code of Ethics serves as a shared compass, guiding everyone at Axpo in their actions and decisions. Rooted in our core values, the Axpo Group Code of Ethics provides guidance on how we engage with stakeholders and collaborate with each other.
The Code of Ethics underscores our commitment to compliance, integrity, and ethics while honoring the trust placed in us by our customers, business partners, and other stakeholders.
It is designed to help us make the right decisions every day by encouraging us to evaluate our actions from multiple perspectives, supported by decision-making tools like the YES-Check.
This Code of Ethics applies to all employees within the Axpo Group, including the Board of Directors, contractors, and temporary colleagues.
Speaking up about concerns and reporting actual or suspected misconduct can be challenging. At Axpo, we truly appreciate when you share your concerns with us whether you are part of Axpo Group or external to the organisation. By speaking up, you help protect what matters most: our people, our values, and our reputation.
You can reach out to a trusted person at Axpo Group or use our SpeakUp Platform, where you can make a report confidentially and anonymously, if you prefer, provided this complies with local laws.
Anyone – inside or outside Axpo Group – can raise concerns, and every report is taken seriously.
We are committed to fostering a culture of trust and respect. Retaliation against anyone who sincerely raises concerns has no place in our organisation.
