COMPLIANCE IN THE ECE GROUP

ECE's reputation as a reliable, honest and fair partner in business is the basis for our success. Compliance is therefore an issue that we take very seriously.

THE ECE COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Our compliance management system is based on our set of values. An important component of this set of values is the value "Integer". Our understanding of this value is that, as a Hanseatic company, we are committed not only to national and international regulations, but also to the principles of honorable businessmen and act in a fair, reliable, calculable and honest manner.

We are ICG-certified

We regularly have our compliance management system certified by the Institut für Corporate Governance in der deutschen Immobilienwirtschaft e.V. (ICG). With the certificate for compliance management, the ICG confirms that we have set up a compliance management system that prevents violations of ECE's internal compliance requirements and applicable laws in Germany and abroad.
Important principles of the underlying value management are transparency and a good corporate culture. It also takes into account special features for real estate companies, such as rules on conflicts of interest in transactions or contract awards.
The ICG first awarded the certificate for compliance management to ECE in 2014 and confirmed certification in accordance with the ICG's certification regulations in 2016, 2019 and 2023.
 

THE CODE OF CONDUCT OF THE ECE GROUP

Our values and our understanding of values are implemented through standards of conduct in ECE's Code of Conduct, which you can download here.
The ECE Code of Conduct is aimed at our employees and serves as an ethical and legal guide for the concrete implementation of our values in the corresponding behavior of our employees within ECE and towards our business partners and competitors.
