ETHICAL PRINCIPLES
Quality, integrity and professional behavior are the cornerstones of our daily work.
In today's ever-changing world, services, products, but also the fast pace and ever-increasing need for flexibility, as well as short-termism, are constantly evolving in terms of defining workforce location and time, work environment and methods. We respond to this change with our clear ethical and behavioral principles.
In particular, our customers and employees expect from ACENTUM that our actions are based on generally accepted values. Our customers and employees trust in this, so it is particularly important that we justify this trust through our clear and reliable actions.
With the ethical and behavioral principles, we define the guidelines for our actions for ourselves and thereby fulfill the expectations of our customers, colleagues and the other involved stakeholders (such as authorities and cooperation partners). Honesty, sincerity and quality are among the most important promises made to our customers, employees and other business partners. By doing so, you can rest assured that ACENTUM will abide by applicable laws, treat all data and information entrusted to us in a professional manner, and always be independent, so that we can always deliver top performance to our clients.
We pursue our goals in partnership. In order to fill our values ​​entrepreneurial spirit, empathy, quality and excellence with life, we work in cooperation with customers and employees on the following principles defined by us:
1) Customer-oriented
We always give our clients the best and the best we have to offer as a professional consulting firm and entrepreneurial people - to not only reach their expectations, but to exceed them whenever possible.

We treat questions and requests of our customers quickly and responsibly and always think a few steps ahead for our customers. We act in their interest as trustworthy and loyal business partners. Above all, we want our customers to talk about us well, convincing them of the quality and professionalism of our work.

3) Facts
Our findings, conclusions and recommendations are the result of sound analysis and fact-based approaches. We create new perspectives and fight for our point of view, if we are convinced that it is in the best interests of our customers.
4) Partnership
Consulting is teamwork, because only in a team can we bring out the full spectrum of our capabilities and achieve excellence. In the acquisition and occupation of new projects, the "right mix" of those involved is our top priority. We condemn selfishness and any form of selfishness. We always act consistently and in partnership, always achieving the goal and optimal results for our customers.
