At Kuehne+Nagel, we believe that integrity is the foundation of our success
We are committed to conducting our business in a fair, transparent, and ethical manner, in full compliance with applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws, and Kuehne+Nagel Code of Conduct and internal policies. We believe that bribery and corruption undermine trust, distort markets, and harm communities. Therefore, we maintain a strict zero-tolerance approach to all forms of bribery and corruption.
We do not tolerate bribery or corruption in any form
This means no employee, officer, director, board members and executives or third party acting on our behalf may – whether directly or indirectly – offer, give, request, or accept anything of value – whether money, gifts, hospitality, or favors – with the intent to improperly influence business decisions or gain unfair advantages. This applies equally to dealings with public officials and private sector partners. On a risk basis, employees are regularly invited to mandatorily complete training to stay informed about the risks and responsibilities under this policy.
Bound to anti-corruption standards
When engaging intermediaries Kuehne+Nagel requires that intermediaries be reputable and contractually bound to anti-corruption standards. All payments to intermediaries must be transparent, reasonable, and auditable. Kuehne+Nagel prohibits any payments or support that facilitates money laundering, funding of terrorism, or any other criminal activities by our companies or our suppliers. Facilitation payments, which are small payments made to expedite routine government actions, are strictly prohibited unless necessary to protect life or health. Such payments must be reported and documented.
The Confidential Reporting Line
If members of Kuehne+Nagel Group encounter situations that feel questionable, they are encouraged to speak up. Reports can be made confidentially through the Kuehne+Nagel Confidential Reporting Line, and we strictly prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises concerns in good faith.
To support this policy, we maintain strong internal controls, including financial oversight, approval processes, and regular audits. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action, including termination, and could lead to legal consequences.
This policy commitment is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains effective and aligned with evolving legal standards, internal regulation, and best practices.
By working together with integrity, we protect our people, our reputation, and our future.
