At LKQ DACH, compliance is not just a set of rules – it is the way we work. Acting responsibly, fairly, and transparently is part of our DNA and the foundation for trust. This commitment protects our people, our company, our customers, and our partners – today and in the future.
We believe that long-term success is only possible when built on integrity and accountability. Our compliance framework ensures that every decision we take reflects our values:
- Integrity in business practices.
- Transparency in communication and processes.
- Accountability across every level of our organization.
- Fair competition and antitrust compliance
- Respect for data privacy and information security
Our compliance program provides clear structures and practical tools to help employees and partners act responsibly:
- Code of Conduct – Our ethical foundation and guidelines for all business activities.
- Whistleblower System – A secure and confidential channel to raise concerns.
- Training & Awareness – Regular programs to keep compliance knowledge up to date.
We encourage employees, customers, and business partners to report any suspected misconduct or violations. Reports can be made confidentially and will be treated with the highest level of protection and fairness through our SpeakUp! whistleblower system.
If you notice misconduct or suspect a violation, SpeakUp! gives you the opportunity to report it – even anonymously. This allows us to uncover unlawful actions early, investigate facts in detail, and prevent potential harm.
At LKQ DACH we take responsibility for the procurement of products and services — towards our environment, our fellow human beings, and the communities we live in. We are committed to complying with environmental and social standards. This includes reducing our ecological footprint, driving sustainable development, and respecting human rights.
