Data Protection
The protection of data, information systems, premises and telecommunications networks from hostile actions and also from competitors is of immense importance for our success and for the trust of our customers in us.
BECEPTUM's sustainable business success depends to a large extent on the use of confidential information and data and their confidentiality. Confidential information of any kind (e.g. trade secrets, business plans, designs, due diligence findings, strategies, economic data, etc.) may not be passed on to unauthorized persons – neither internally nor externally. This obligation also exists beyond the end of any existing employment relationship. In order to protect such information, a non-disclosure agreement must also be contractually ensured with our business partners.
In addition, the processing of personal data is subject to strict legal regulations.
Sustainability and environmental protection
Sustainability and environmental protection are our central concerns, especially to prove the profitable compatibility of economy and ecology every day.
All employees are obliged to use our resources sparingly and to actively participate in environmental protection. The primary objectives are the conservation and protection of natural resources, the responsible use of raw materials, the prevention, reduction, recycling and proper disposal of waste. In addition, we recognize our responsibility for sustainability and environmental protection towards suppliers, business partners and contractors.
For necessary business trips, we weigh up all possibilities and choose the most environmentally friendly variant suitable for the situation.
