Corporate values
Since its foundation in 1972, the STIWA Group has developed from a one-man operation into a leading global automation, production and software specialist. Throughout all these years, the family business has followed the values of its founder Walter Sticht which are incorporated in the corporate strategy.
The company's value system is rooted in five basic values:
Entrepreneurial thinking and action are at the core, complemented by partnership, innovation, quality and sustainability. This Code of Conduct reflects the STIWA Group's corporate values and forms the foundation for all of the STIWA Group's business actions and decisions.
Our employees are the key ingredient of our company's success. We want to enable them to act independently, responsibly and appropriately in every situation based on their professional, social and societal competence. This Code of Conduct provides the basis for this and must be followed by all employees as well as by all persons who are functionally equivalent to our own staff.
Code of conduct
Our business partners are another essential factor for our company's success. The STIWA Code of Conduct represents the cornerstone of cooperation with the STIWA Group; therefore, it also defines our mindset and our values concerning relevant topics for our external partners.
This Code of Conduct with its three subject areas of People – Environment – Work applies to the STIWA Group, its employees and its business partners, hereinafter referred to as "we".
The following requirements and principles are based on “The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact” (hereinafter “UN GC”) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (hereinafter “ILO Core Labour Standards”). These relevant sets of rules are part of the STIWA Code of Conduct and equally as a supplement.
Export regulations
The STIWA Group's compliance management also includes export regulations. They play a key role in our international business and ensure that exports are handled legally and without risk.

Our export regulation document provides you with an overview of the current legal provisions and requirements for the international movement of goods.
