The OeKB Group orients itself by the principles of the “Austrian Corporate Governance Codex” as the standard of modern management even though it is not obliged to do so because it is not a listed company.

Transparency as a special imperative

We, at the OeKB Group, take our responsibility to our stakeholders very seriously because we are a company with special economic significance. We orient our conduct to the rules of the Austrian Working Group for Corporate Governance. Any deviations from the codex primarily arise from the fact that the OeKB Group is an unlisted company and some of the recommendations cannot be implemented.

Transparency is inseparably linked to the principles of contemporary, responsible company management. Find more information in our yearly company reports.

Code of Conduct

The success of the OeKB Group is based, to a large extent, on our great reputation and the trust we enjoy among stakeholders and the public at large. The executive board, managers, and staff all conduct themselves in a conscientiously reliable, legal and diligent way and are committed to the Code of Conduct as a clear framework. 

The Code of Conduct not only expresses our own expectations for ourselves, but also our expectations of others. We thus forego any business that goes against the principles of the Code of Conduct and hope that our stakeholders conduct their business dealings according to comparable rules.
