We Stand for Ethically and Legally Impeccable Corporate Governance
We are committed to the principles of good corporate governance and strive to build long-term, trusting relationships with all of our business partners. In addition to the reliability and performance of our business partners, it is important to us that they adhere to the same high ethical standards.
Our compliance policies, such as our strict anti-corruption regulations, apply to all our locations worldwide and define appropriate prevention and control measures.
UKA has established a company-wide risk management system to systematically record and evaluate all risks and opportunities that affect the company, its existence, its operations and its success. This is an essential prerequisite for sustainable value creation and sound competitiveness. It is crucial to identify risks and opportunities at an early stage, assess them and take appropriate action.
Being a leading developer in the renewable energy sector, we are dedicated to not only facilitating the energy transition but also to pursuing socially and environmentally sustainable practices. We believe that accountability is vital in all aspects of our projects and business activities. This commitment includes the efficient use of resources, support for local social projects, and transparent stakeholder communication.
