Corporate Compliance at KUKA
As an international group, KUKA assumes responsibility towards its employees, customers, business partners, investors, and society. Integrity is the foundation of our actions and guides how we make decisions, collaborate, and conduct our business.
Our success is built not only on innovative products and technologies, but also on the trust we earn through responsible and compliant behavior.
Integrity as the Standard for Our Actions
At KUKA, compliance means more than adhering to laws and internal regulations. It is an expression of our corporate culture and our shared responsibility to do the right thing every day.
Our compliance principles provide the foundation for this commitment:
Integrity
We act honestly, transparently, and reliably.
Responsibility
We take responsibility for our actions and their impact.
Ethical Standards
We make decisions in line with laws, internal requirements, and our values.
Every employee contributes to bringing these principles to life in their daily work and to protecting KUKA.
Binding Standards and Clear Guidance
Our Compliance Management System (CMS) ensures that our actions worldwide meet consistent, high standards. It includes group-wide policies, clearly defined processes, and established responsibilities.
The Corporate Compliance Handbook and our Group policies provide guidance for everyday business activities and support our employees in acting responsibly, even in complex situations. They are regularly reviewed and further developed to address new legal requirements and best practices.

Living Responsibility Together
Compliance is a shared responsibility. That is why we focus on:
- Mandatory and regular training
- Targeted training programs for specific groups
- Continuous communication and awareness-building
This ensures that all employees understand the relevant requirements and can apply them with confidence. Managers have a particular responsibility in this regard: they lead by example in living the principles of our Code of Conduct and help shape a culture of integrity ("Tone from the Top").
Taking Responsibility and Speaking Up
An open approach to questions and potential risks is a key element of our compliance culture. We encourage employees and external third parties to raise concerns and report potential issues. Only in this way can risks be identified early and addressed appropriately.
Various reporting channels are available:
- Direct contact persons (Compliance Officers)
- Confidential internal reporting channels
- KUKA Integrity, our web-based platform for anonymous and non-anonymous reporting
All reports are handled with due care and confidentiality. Individuals who report concerns in good faith are protected.
