In today's global business environment there is strong public interest in what companies actually do. Customer demands greater transparency so that it can look inside corporations and conclude that business is indeed conducted in a proper manner.

Like any other International company,
ALTAIR Chemicals & Minerals AG (ACM) not only has to comply with local legislation and international

regulations, and, whatever we do, it has to be an expression of the values we advocate.

These values are in essence laid down in our Company Statement.  This statement has been well-understood and absorbed in the Company, and it serves as the basis for our Business Principles.

These Business Principles further clarify the standards by which we operate. Entrepreneurial spirit, personal integrity and social responsibility are our core values and all our actions should be based on and inspired by them. Customers should recognize these values in our diversified operations.

As a multinational multicultural organization we actually benefit from this diversity. It makes us a strong and dynamic company - a great company to work with.  Our Business Principles should further align and focus our actions and serve as a foundation for sound business judgement. Through these principles we want to ensure that we practice the values that we preach.
