At Kuehne+Nagel, we are committed to upholding the principles of fair competition and complying fully with applicable antitrust and competition laws, and Kuehne+Nagel Code of Conduct and internal policies

Such laws and standards are designed to protect consumers, foster innovation, and ensure a level playing field for all businesses – where healthy competition drives excellence.

We strictly prohibit any conduct that could be seen as anti-competitive. This includes, but is not limited to, bid rigging, price-fixing, market allocation, and the exchange of sensitive commercial information with competitors. Our employees must never engage in discussions or agreements – formal or informal – that could limit competition or manipulate the market.

Anti-trust law and guidance

Our employees are expected to understand the basics of antitrust law and to seek guidance from our Legal or Compliance teams whenever in doubt. Participation in trade associations or industry groups must be approached with caution, and any discussions that veer into non-competitive action must be avoided and reported immediately.

The Confidential Reporting Line

Violations of this policy can lead to serious consequences, including disciplinary action, termination, and legal penalties. 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.

By working together with integrity, we protect our people, our reputation, and our future.

This policy commitment is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains effective and aligned with evolving legal standards, internal regulation, and best practices.
