Georg Fischer regards its industrial and social commitment as a long-term undertaking. Its aim is to be a preferred partner for all dialogue groups and to stand out for its responsible, sustainability-conscious behaviour and continuity. The Corporation takes its economic, environmental and social responsibilities very seriously at all levels and reports on them regularly.

The company has summarized its values into a set of principles valid for all its activities. The Code of Conduct lays down rules concerning corporate responsibility as well as staff behaviour towards all stakeholders. GF’s commitment also extends beyond its corporate boundaries. A Supplier Code defines the requirements that have to be met by all business partners from whom GF sources products or services.

GF has been publishing a sustainability report for six years; the last full report appeared in 2009. A summary version with updated information for 2008 has been published online.
