Conduct workplace Making

8 | CODE OF CONDUCT November 2021 In everyday professional life it must often be deter- mined whether a particular action or conduct is appropriate or not. If an employee must assess a sensitive situation, the following questions may help to make the correct decision: Am I acting in accordance with the law? Is my action in accordance with the Code of Conduct? Am I deciding in the interest of the company or out of personal interest? Would my decision stand up to public scrutiny? Could my action or decision endanger the reputation of the company? 2.1. Making decisions Each employee is entitled to make decisions within the framework of their function or position within the company. Their tasks i.e. scope of decision (autho - rity to sign) will be imparted over the course of the internal training and advanced training programme Walter Academy, as well as published on the Intra - net in the respective job description. Furthermore, the purchasing of goods and services is governed by the purchasing regulations of the companies within the WALTER GROUP as well as the GZA and GZAM (= principles of cooperation bet - ween transport and assembly partners). An obliga - tory authorisation procedure as well as a needs as - sessment stipulate that depending on the amount of the order two or three authorisations have to be obtained (second set of eyes or third set of eyes). 2.
